SRC Culinary students visit Rich Sauces: The home of quality catering food supplies #EnjoyNI16
As part of NI Year Of Food and Drink 2016, 17 culinary students from SRC visited Rich Sauces in Newtownards on Tuesday 9th February. Rich Sauces produce mayonnaises, sauces, dressings and bouillons for sale exclusively to the catering trade. As part of #lovelocal month Rich Sauces are keen to show culinary students what is being produced on their doorstep, well 60 miles up the road.
The meeting started with Tim Kells, Marketing Manager showing the Rich Sauces Story and explaining their ethos of More Flavour = More Customers = More Profit.
After a general introduction to Rich Sauces business the group split in two. One group toured the BRC manufacturing site and saw the wholesale sauces being produced. The second group discussed the challenges faced by the Rich Sauces development team when it comes to creating new recipes both for their own range or bespoke sauces for a large volume customer.
The trip concluded with a tasting session of 12 www.richsauces.com products. Firstly a direct comparison between Rich Sauces Great Taste Award winning Vegetable bouillons and the “Brand” Leader. Then the students took the mayo challenge
This was followed by a select tasting of wholesale sauces and wholesale dressings. It concluded with a cruel taste challenge of sampling Grim Reaper chillies. Ask Hazel what see made of it? She is the BOSS
