We’re making dinner and entertaining easy, and meatballs better than before, with our NEW Moroccan & Italian inspired meatballs. They’re seasoned by our expert charcutiers to recreate authentic flavours, and are the perfect size for a meal or a convenient way to make your entertaining easier!

 

Moroccan

Inspired by the flavours of North Africa, rich in cumin and coriander with a pop of mint, they’re perfect with couscous and a yoghurt as a meal, or as an hors d'oeuvre when entertaining.

Italian

Indulge in the irresistible combination of fennel, garlic, and oregano. L’Authentique Italian meatballs are bursting with authentic flavor. Enjoy them smothered in your favorite sauce or serve them up as a show-stopping appetizer.

Traditional Sausages

A good sausage starts with prime cuts of fresh free-farmed New Zealand meat, minced with a coarse grind. Then we season the mince following our traditional recipes, and the occasional special new innovation. Because we don’t add gluten, fillers or nitrates, you get a more flavoursome, meaty sausage.


Each 420gm pack has 6 x 70 gram sausages.
