ABOUT

range of premium quality barbecue, savoury, sauté cooking and dessert sauces, dressings, marinades and condiments. Recognized by winning many global taste awards, Wild Appetite continues to innovate with new flavours and product groups, offering consumers in New Zealand and across the globe, enticing selections of fine foods to enhance their every day meals, impress their guests at home or simply as a gift for those special occasions throughout the year. Wild Appetite won a total of seven 2011 London Great Taste Awards in seven different categories, a recognition that our products are as good as anywhere in the world. The Strawberry & Champagne Chocolate Sauce was one of a few to be awarded the 2 star Gold award – ‘a faultless & exquisite product’ according to the judging criteria. At Wild Appetite, we attribute these award successes to careful selection of raw materials used, together with innovative product and process development and control, at our own process kitchen in Auckland, New Zealand. During 2008/09 a new brand URBAN APPETITE was developed to provide Gluten Free options to consumers. Although the majority of Wild Appetite products are also gluten free, all the products in Urban Appetite are Verified as Gluten Free and during 2011 a new product group, Sauté Cooking Sauces, was released onto the market under the Urban brand that has extra No Added Salt features, providing additional health benefits in lowering the daily salt intake. Our HistoryWild Appetite began in 1989 as a family business on a blueberry farm near Matakana, in the upper North Island of New Zealand. From these beginnings, Wild Appetite gourmet condiments, conserves, dressings and sauces have become sought after by food-lovers both in New Zealand and around the world. In 2009, the business was purchased by Peter McCracken and Mark Tasker. Both have active daily management roles in the company, an important requirement to take Wild Appetite into its third decade of operation. With a background in food technology and export market development, Peter decided to combine his skills and experience with business partner Mark who had come from a financial background with planning and management skills.

They progressed from strength to strength to become high-profile and are now recognised as the most prestigious acknowledgement of innovation in the New Zealand food industry – past Award winners are seen as the pinnacle of excellence for the industry. Since 1998, Massey University has organised these Awards. A.J. Park Packaging Design Award The A.J. Park Packaging Design Award was presented to Wild Appetite for its innovative use of the miniature 3-tiered glass bottle of the Bread Dipper Set. Upon presentation of the Award, judges commented “Wild Appetite bread dips with a ‘bottle inside a bottle’ concept is a stunning gift. The judges loved the stackability of the three bottles, which were sufficiently elegant to serve directly on the table. They hadn't seen anything like this before. The idea of dipping bread in olive oil, then vinegar and finally dukkah in the one package was highly original and an unusual novelty gift.” Terms of TradeRETURNS POLICY Our goods have a shelf life of 2 years unopened.
