Tasty New Plant-Based Sauces Finnebrogue in Downpatrick

Finnebrogue Artisan in Downpatrick is launching a range of plant-based sauces under its Better Naked brand in Tesco stores this week. 

It is Finnebrogue’s first entrance into the sauce category – and its range of four new flavours are plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free; and made without any artificial additives or preservatives. 

The flavoured table sauces include two mayonnaises – Burger Mayonnaise and Southern Fried Mayonnaise; and two ketchups – Hoisin Ketchup and Roasted Red Pepper & Chilli Ketchup.

The sauces have launched at 497 Tesco UK stores and complement an already award-winning plant-based range, which includes imitation pork, chicken, beef and fish products.

The Better Naked sauces have been created to meet the ever-growing demand for better tasting plant-based sauces that are made without any artificial additives or preservatives. They are also made without egg or dairy. 

Both mayonnaises are low in sugar.

The Better Naked Southern Fried Mayonnaise is a new flavour, not seen before in the plant-based sauce category. Seasoned with herbs, it brings a spicy and creamy addition to goujons, sandwiches, wraps and tacos.

The Better Naked Burger Mayonnaise arrives just in time for spring and summer BBQs. The tangy and creamy mayo is made with gherkins, tomatoes, mustard and dill. 

Both ketchups are low in fat and saturated fat. 

The Roasted Red Pepper & Chilli Ketchup is a fiery and sweet sauce, rated medium on the chilli scale. It is also allergen-free and a perfect accompaniment to a range of dishes including chips, wraps, burgers and salads.

The Better Naked Hoisin Ketchup is aromatic and sticky, perfect for dipping spring rolls or enhancing the flavour of stir-frys and Asian dishes.

The sauces will retail at £2.00 (250g). 

Declan Ferguson, Research, Development and Technical Director at Finnebrogue Artisan, explains: “Our mantra has always been to look at what is wrong with food and then figure out how to make it the best it can be, without being bound by the way it has always been done.

“We’ve looked at the range of plant-based sauces currently on the market and thought too often there are compromises being accepted on taste and too many artificial additives being used in the production process, such as Potassium Sorbate.

“We’ve therefore applied our years of experience in making great tasting food without artificial additives and produced a range of new sauces – with no egg, no dairy, no gluten and absolutely no artificial additives – that taste absolutely delicious.

“The new mayo flavours in particular are the result of many months of research, trials and taste tests to ensure they were packed with flavour and offered something fresh to plant-based foodies up and down the country.”

‘Pure taste, clean conscience’ reflects the ethos behind the Better Naked Sauce range. The sauces prioritise flavour. They are nutritious – made without any nasties. They are made using sustainably sourced ingredients; and they are affordable – competitively priced against leading sauce brands.

Finnebrogue is the UK’s leading artisan food producer. Their mantra is to make food the best it can be, without being bound by the way it has always been done. It produces a portfolio of plant-based imitation pork, beef, chicken and fish products under its Better Naked brand. 

Finnebrogue’s Better Naked brand is the biggest brand of bacon in Britain having launched four years ago. It remains the only mass-produced bacon to be made without nitrites, the curing chemicals used in most other bacon and hams that have been linked to colorectal cancer by the World Health Organisation. It iis also a private-label supplier of sausages and burgers to several British supermarkets – and farms its own deer and wagyu cattle from the Finnebrogue estate in Co. Down.

Whitewater Brewery continues investment in sustainability

Whitewater Brewery, a Food NI member, in Castlewellan has taken another step towards the reduction of its carbon footprint.

The company, Northern Ireland’s largest independent brewery that’s owned by Bernard and Kerry Sloan, has just completed the installation of a nitrogen generation plant within its modern brewery.

The new plant enables the brewery, which has developed a series of award-winning brews including its UK Great Taste Northern Ireland Regional Fork for its Kreme de la Kreme Imperial Russian Stout, to produce 75 percent of all the gas required within the brewery.

Whitewater has also invested in renewable technology which now provides 100 percent of its electricity to power its bottling and canning and other brewery operations.

The brewery has developed a state-of-the-art brewery in Castlewellan to enable it to meet the growing market demand for its successful range of beers.

Master brewer Bernard Sloan last year celebrated the 21st anniversary of the brewery, which began at Attical, near Kilkeel, in the Mournes.

An engineer by profession, Bernard designed the new brewery, project managed its construction and kitted it out with the latest brewing equipment.

Whitewater Brewing has a portfolio of award-winning ales, lagers and stouts, several of which have won international acclaim including International Brewing Challenge medals and UK Great Taste Awards for products such as its Belfast Brew (ABV4.6%) and Germanic style Hoppelhammer (ABV6%).

The brewery has recently opened a visitor centre charting the history of brewing the Mournes.

Bernard Sloan of the state-of-the-art Whitewater Brewery at Castlewellan has invested substantially on sustainability

From our locally farmed fresh chicken and classic breaded range of kiev’s and goujons to our primary added value range – we have something to suit every Asda shopper.

“As a business, we take great pride in providing fresh, locally sourced poultry for families across the country, so to extend our range in Asda stores across Northern Ireland is something we are very proud of.”

Mourne Dew Distillery strikes gold for whiskey

Multi-award winning Mourne Dew Distillery in Warrenpoint, Co Down, maker of the successful and award winning Kilbroney and Rostrevor gins and the Pooka range of poitins, has won gold for its single malt whiskey.

The small distillery gained the influential recognition for its unique whiskey in the prestigious International Wines and Spirits Competition, an annual celebration of the world’s best spirits.

The company, the first legal distillery in the Mourne Mountains for centuries, produces its single malt and blended whiskeys using barley, wheat and rye spirits matured in a combination of virgin oak and bourbon oak casks.

Head distiller and blender Donal Farrell, says: “We are thrilled to receive this recognition for premium quality in the prestigious awards. The release of our first two Mourne Dew whiskeys represented the culmination of over six years of research into flavour development and maturation techniques for both poitins and whiskeys. 

“Whilst our distillery has only been in operation for five years, the research and development behind our products started back in 2014. We have spent years working on flavour development methods and have also invested heavily in vacuum distillation processes which allow us to produce a whole range of delicate flavours not achievable with conventional methods.

 The company, a Food NI member, has a triple distilled Irish whiskey, blended from malted barley and grain spirit. The spirit has been matured in a mixture of virgin oak and bourbon casks and contains a small percentage of rye and peated malt to give added complexity and richness to the liquor,” he adds.

The single malt Irish whiskey has been matured in bourbon casks and finished in IPA casks. “This whiskey is exceptionally round and smooth with a well-balanced peaty flavour. It has a rich malty flavour that lingers on the palate in a most excellent way,” Mr Farrell continues.
