foodies for food lovers

foodies for food lovers is the natural choice, adding flavour to everyday food because chefs love the Food, as food should be.

In 2008 two friends, Rachael and Paul – passionate foodies who both grew up in Hawke's Bay – set about sharing their love for New Zealand and its extra virgin olive oil with the world. In researching this wonderful liquid gold, they found out all wasn’t what it might seem in the food world. Concerned, they realised they couldn’t necessarily change what was happening elsewhere, but could develop th

eir own company which created real food, clean food – food they could be proud of. What evolved from these small beginnings is now an iconic brand "foodies for food lovers" which has achieved international recognition for the supreme quality, freshness and unique taste of its products. Although the company has expanded enormously, NZ Premium Foods remains proudly 100% New Zealand owned and operated – still creating pure, incredible-tasting cuisine with nothing it shouldn’t contain.

Golden edges, delicate flesh, and the quiet elegance of the sea.
New Zealand Gurnard — beautifully crisped and served simply, allowing every flavour to speak softly for itself.

Paired with fresh greens, shellfish, and a silky beurre blanc, this is a reminder that true refinement never needs to shout.

Congratulations to all the Metro 50 Best Dishes winners!

Of course this olive oil & sea salt semifreddo from Hugo's Bistro is close to our hearts

Metro Magazine NZ describes this dish as...
"A deceptively simple dessert, Hugo’s semifreddo is smooth and silky; dreamy and indulgent, with lashings of quality olive oil that make you want to bathe in the stuff. The sprinkling of sea salt lifts the whole thing to stratospheric."
