BAILEY’S FUDGE KITCHEN (LEVIN) With three generations of confectionery and fudge-making in the blood, it’s no wonder Levin’s fudge kitchen is bringing that wealth of experience and knowledge to the market. Its more than 30 types of handmade fudge are mostly gluten-free, but the company revels in making any flavour its clients desire, packaged according to the purchasers’ requirements. At the core of the business is a motto – ‘delivering excellence’ – and this philosophy threads through ever-consistent service and unparalleled attention to quality. The company ensures its fudge is fresh by delivering within 24 hours of ordering if possible, it is open seven days a week and it loves to hear from customers. www.baileyskitchen.co.nz www.foodtechnology.co.nz 81 KOHU ROAD (AUCKLAND) A celebration of the art of Japanese cuisine married together with the luxury of Italian and French style and sensibilities is how founder Greg Hall describes his products. Opened in 2007 after a 15-year journey around the world and three years of recipe development, Hall’s Kohu Road Ice Cream is now what he describes as a trailblazer in the evolution of the icy treat. “Not long ago, to many New Zealanders, wine was no more than white or red and came in a three-litre casks. We believe that if you treat ice cream like a fine wine with attention to the temperature and consistency, the experience will be thoroughly satisfying.” He says his products – which includes the award-winning Kohu Road Dairyfree Strawberry product - complement the slow food, organic and simple world movement – and adhere to the three Rs of reduce, reuse and recycle. www.kohuroad.co.nz ALCHEMY SUPERFOOD LATTES (NEW ZEALAND) The first thing you notice about the Golden Turmeric Elixir, says creators Alchemy Superfood Lattes, is the colour…both in the bottle and in the cup. “It’s brilliant golden yellow hue is so vibrant that you almost can’t believe it is natural,” the company says. “It’s like a burst of liquid sunshine.” The colour actually comes from natural curcumin, which is the bioactive ingredient in turmeric. Only a handful of ingredients go into the elixir, and while every ingredient contributes to the overall flavour, they are also all functional and important contributors. Alchemy only uses premium grade Japanese Matcha, sourced direct from Kyoto and surrounding regions, and says the story of Matcha is steeped with culture, ritual and intrigue. www.toplinegrocery.co.nz
