This week’s Friday Faves takes us somewhere pretty special ~ Rosewood Kauri Cliffs 🌿
Perched above the spectacular Northland coastline, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs is one of New Zealand’s most luxurious stays, a secluded retreat surrounded by native forest, rolling farmland and incredible Pacific Ocean views.

And the dining experience is every bit as special as the setting.
The culinary team celebrates the best of Northland and New Zealand through beautifully considered fine dining, combining European influences with exceptional local and seasonal produce. Think fresh seafood, New Zealand lamb, native herbs and dishes that reflect the coast and landscape surrounding them.

For guests, it’s the complete experience, beautiful accommodation, an extraordinary setting and memorable dining, all with a distinctly Northland sense of place.
A truly special destination, right here in our part of the world. đź’š

This time it’s NEW Frenchmaid Kimchi Relish 🔥

Tangy, punchy and packed with that unmistakable fermented kimchi flavour, ready to use straight from the jar.

And as Paulie shows us, there are plenty of ways to put it to work. Think burgers, loaded fries, proteins, share plates and anywhere your menu could use an extra hit of flavour.

A simple addition that gives chefs plenty of room to get creative, without adding more prep to the kitchen.

September is all about Fresh at Bidfood Waipapa! 🥬🥑🍠
So it seems only right to give a shoutout to the two people behind our Fresh Produce department ~ P**i, our Produce Manager and Teresa, our Assistant Produce Manager.

Together they keep a close eye on what’s in season, what’s looking great and what our customers need, working with growers and suppliers to keep fresh produce moving through the branch and out to kitchens across the Far North.
Over the next month, we’ll be sharing plenty more from Fresh, Seasonal produce, what’s coming through the doors and a few tips and recommendations from P**i and Teresa along the way.

Fresh month starts here. đź’š

What’s happening in the market this September? 🌱

As spring begins, seasonal supply is shifting across key foodservice categories. New-season produce is arriving, beef and lamb remain influenced by off-season supply, while pork is seeing some welcome price relief.

Global commodity markets also remain one to watch, with movement across sugar and other key inputs.

Our latest Market Bites gives you a snapshot of the key market movements to help you stay informed and plan ahead.
