We\u2019re excited to announce a new partnership that\u2019s all about flavour, innovation, and supporting busy kitchens. Our latest range of 14 bold, plant-led ingredients is now available through Oliver Kay and Bidfood – making it easier than ever for chefs to serve up innovative plant-led ingredients with zero compromise.<\/p>\n
From local independents to multi-national operators, these ingredients are made to help you do more with less and keep customers coming back for more.<\/p>\n
A powerful partnership for flavour-first kitchens<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve teamed up with Oliver Kay and Bidfood to make it simple for more chefs to access the plant-led innovation we\u2019re known for. Whether it\u2019s golden pickled cauliflower or a globally inspired grains mix, every ingredient in the range is kitchen-ready, trend-led, and built for real-world service.<\/p>\n
This launch brings together three teams with a shared mission: helping chefs save time, reduce waste, and unlock flavour-led creativity – without the faff.<\/p>\n
What sets us apart is that this range isn\u2019t just developed for chefs, it\u2019s developed with them. Our team is made up of passionate foodies, many of whom have been in our customers\u2019 shoes. They understand the challenges and opportunities chefs face in busy kitchens because they\u2019ve been there, and that insight shapes everything we do. <\/p>\n
14 new plant-led ingredients<\/p>\n
Our new range is inspired by global flavours and what consumers are really craving. Each product is prepped and ready to use, taking the stress out of ingredient prep and waste, while adding bold flavours to every plate.<\/p>\n
Combining advanced processes with bold thinking, we craft ingredients that transform food businesses \u2013 including chargrilled, roasted, blanched and prepared vegetables, as well as pickles, grains, dips and purees. Every ingredient is designed to perform in professional kitchens and power the future of food.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re refreshing your plant-based offering or looking for smart swaps to keep food costs down, this inclusive range makes it easier to deliver food that\u2019s bold, delicious, and leading trends – not just following them.<\/p>\n
Why kitchens love us: less waste, more efficiency<\/p>\n
We know kitchens of every size are feeling the pressure. Labour costs are rising, staff are stretched, and waste targets are tighter than ever. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve designed a range that supports chefs and helps busy kitchens.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how we help:
\n– Save time – no peeling, chopping or slow cooking – just heat, plate, and go.
\n– Reduce waste – exact portions, consistent prep, less wastage.
\n– Premiumise the everyday – high-impact, low-cost ingredients that lift menus without lifting margins.
\n– Focus on flavour – free up your team to do what they do best: create dishes that stand out.
\n– Stay inclusive \u2013 prepared in a nut and sesame free environment to help you cater with confidence.<\/p>\n
