“One of the biggest gripes from people when it comes to food shopping, especially at the big supermarkets, is that the product is never the same from week to week and that it doesn’t last long and has no taste. This is where we come in! Our quality definitely sets us apart from everyone else and means a product that not only last 2 weeks in their fridge but one that tastes exceptional too.”
