The taste of local flavour will be on show at Fine Food New Zealand 2025, as well as business growth opportunities.
For the foodservice and hospitality industries, Fine Food New Zealand 2025 will demonstrate the best in the market for flavour and innovation and many ways to elevate business operations.
The Good Oil Marketing and Brand Manager, Andy O’Malley-Mora, said that Fine Foods brings together so many people within the industry, whether it's chefs, buyers, distributors or producers. He said it is a rare chance to talk directly with all areas of the industry, hear what they need and show how the Good Oil’s products fit into real-world kitchens and production lines.
“For a business like ours that works across retail, foodservice and manufacturing, it’s always an important event on the calendar and well worth making the trip,” said O’Malley-Mora.
He said the growing interest from across the industry in ingredients that offer both consistent supply and traceability could be something to watch at this year’s show. He said, especially for oil, many customers care about the fact it's produced in New Zealand.
Kelli-Jo Walker from The Wild Fermentary said the show would be a great way to take the brand and product range to a wider market and new buyers.
“We are always keen to grow our family of retailers and hope to move some of our drinks and bulk kraut and kimchi into hospitality,” she said.
The Wild Fermentary hoped to meet buyers and industry influencers who are interested in supporting local businesses at Fine Foods New Zealand 2025. The brand will showcase its newly launched Cola Kefir Soda.
“With gut health currently one of the most influential forces in food and beverage, and cola flavour being the most popular soda flavour in the world, we’re hoping our new Cola Kefir is well-positioned to leverage these opportunities.”
Goodfood Group will showcase a variety of its portfolio at Fine Food New Zealand 2025, from chilled lines such as speciality cheese through to ambient antipasti products as well as products influenced by innovation and specifically designed for the foodservice market.
“We are excited to be sharing a new brand to the New Zealand market, La Rose Noire, globally renowned for high-quality, hand-made pastries, tart shells and finished desserts. Visit the La Rose Noire stand to experience the range for yourself,” said Danique Faber, Goodfood Group.
