We’re delighted to see our products featured on the cover of this month’s Speciality Food Magazine – the range looks fantastic and we would like say a big thank you to our friends at Sorba-Freeze for making this happen.  Here’s hoping that more people discover our paté and dips as a result.

Findlater’s were mentioned in this article in the Edinburgh Evening News yesterday. Exciting times and a lot of hard work ahead!

We were delighted to see that December’s issue of Great British Food magazine judged Findlater’s Chicken Liver Paté with Brandy & Port worthy of inclusion in their ’3 of the best Patés’.

The review of our star performing product declared that ‘ This silky paté is smooth and decadent.’ and that ‘Packed with rich, creamy butter, it tastes dreamy on hot toast or paired with a tart cranberry sauce or relish.’

We’re delighted to announce that a range of seven Findlater’s patés are now available to purchase from Ocado.  They are currently available on an introductory promotion at 20% less than the standard retail price throughout November.  We hopes this makes it even easier for Findlater’s fans to get hold of our fabulous patés and we’re really looking forward to working with Ocado going forward.

We recently announced that in addition to the ready-filled paté piping bags we already offer, our multiple Gold Award winning paté is to be made available in a new quenelle format for our Food Service customers.

To support the trade shows that we have been exhibiting at recently we produced short videos to demonstrate these innovative product formats.

We had a great day filming the exciting plates and canapés our paté range can be used to make.

Our patés and dips have been awarded a total of 6 Gold Great Taste Awards this year
by the Guild of Fine Foods.

The Great Taste Awards are the most trusted and recognised of food and drink awards and to be awarded six Gold Awards is very welcome recognition of the skill and care that the team here at Findlater’s put into developing and producing every single pot of paté and dip
that leaves our kitchen.

We’re particularly pleased that 3 of our new dips are now officially gold award winners – give them a try if you haven’t already, they’re supremely tasty and versatile. If you need some inspiration have a look in the Recipes section of this website.

We’ve been busy in the kitchen at Findlater’s recently, working on perfecting the recipes for our scrumptious new dips. The range of four products (Spinach & Ricotta dip, Black Bean dip, Roasted Red Pepper dip and Coconut Satay dip)  will be available in deli’s, farm shops and garden centres nationwide from the 14^th June.  Our dips are hand- prepared by chefs to the same high standards that you’ll already know to expect of Findlater’s and the sheer quality of our ingredients and recipes means that the flavours and textures are just as special as our paté’s. The dips are all made with a base of roasted nuts rather than mayonnaise or chickpeas which means that not only do they taste sublime, they’re really versatile.  We’ve had fun experimenting with recipe ideas and have found that they’re great used to add some zing to a sandwich, as a topping for baked fish & chicken fillets , or stirred into pasta or noodles.

After successful sales in Scottish branches of Waitrose over the last six months, the specialist Scottish pate producer, Findlater’s, is set to sign a nationwide deal with the supermarket.

Findlater’s will supply its award-winning Chicken Liver Paté, Avocado & Cashew Nut Paté and Dunsyre & Pressed Pear Paté lines to 60 stores south of the Border from the start of May 2011.

Adam Kennedy, Waitrose delicatessen buyer, said how pleased Waitrose was to be able to strengthen the relationship between Waitrose and Findlater’s, adding its name to the growing number of Scottish lines in Waitrose stores south of the Border.

He said: “Findlater’s are a perfect example of the type of supplier we love to work with. Their handmade patés have already proved very popular with our customers in Scotland, the Chicken Liver Pate with Brandy & Port being the bestseller.
