Open Country opens butter plant
When American retail giant Cosco came to audit Open Country Dairy’s new butter plant at the Waharoa site and give the green light to supply their American stores, they allowed themselves a week for the exercise.
The Food Show Auckland kicks off this Thursday, and runs through to Sunday at the ASB Showgrounds.
One of the exhibitors is Lewis Road Creamery – producers of organic milk free from both permeate and palm kernel expeller. The line-up includes the first 100% Jersey milk to be available on supermarket shelve.
Visitors to Lewis Road Creamery will see some of the best cream and butter in the world, the company says.
Food Show visitors can also visit Nude Coconut or Heilala for organic coconut oil, and sample handcrafted olive oils at the Virtuo stand.
Beyond the array of tempting edibles, drinks, and gadgets, The Food Show Auckland also serves up a menu of special features to delight and amaze you.
Top of the list is the Whirlpool Cooking Theatre, home to free cooking demos from top celebrity chefs, including Peter Gordon, Simon Gault, Nadia Lim, Chelsea Winter, Annabelle White, Ray McVinnie, Sachie Nomura, Julie Le Clerc, plus MasterChef NZ 2014 Doubles winners Karena and Kasey Bird.
