NEW PRODUCT:
BUTTER CHICKEN PIE

While traditional flavours still dominate, there has been growing customer demand for more exotic flavours. In order to meet this demand we have embarked upon a programme of new product development.

Our first project was Butter Chicken, now considered to be New Zealand's second favourite flavour after Fish and Chips.

We went straight to the source, North India, for our inspiration. We did not Kiwify the recipe, but remained true to the origins of the dish - that is lots of butter, cream and yoghurt, genuine Indian made spices, (which really do taste a lot better than cheaper alternatives), and of course quality chicken thigh meat.

For 6 months, Karen, toiled away balancing the flavours until she felt she had achieved the right combination of ingredients.

She wasn't wrong! We released the pie in August 2006 and by December 2006 it has become one of our big Top 5 selling Flavours.

A FEW SNAPSHOTS FROM THE BAKERY


Shirley and her team on the pie line. This team can assemble an astonishing quantity of pies in a working day.
With 3 Gas Rotary Ovens the oven room can get pretty hot in the summertime.
This team gently removes every baked pie by hand from the pie trays. That’s a lot of pies!
