Macphie Sour Cherry ku-li Scoops Prestigious Catering Award

Macphie, the UK’s leading independent food ingredients manufacturer, is celebrating its success after winning a prestigious award at the Caterer and Hotelkeeper Food and Drink Excellence awards 2009. Macphie's Sour Cherry ku-li® beat off stiff competition to be pronounced overall winner of the accompaniments and ingredients category. The awards honour the very best of the catering industry's products providing a benchmark for the industry to aspire to by showcasing those who truly excel in every category.

After a marathon tasting session, the judges praised its “good colour” and “excellent flavour”, remarking that you can really “taste the cherries” and could see “a big market for it in hotels and pubs.”

Macphie Marketing Manager, Ellie Adair, commented: “We are absolutely over the moon that our continued efforts to bring innovative new products to the market have been recognised by some of the best in the food service industry. Made from the finest morello cherries and 100% natural, Sour Cherry ku-li® makes a great accompaniment to turn starters, main courses and desserts into works of art. This is a testament to the exceptionally high quality of our products, the convenient packaging design and the talent of our people.” 

Sour Cherry ku-li® comes in a convenient, 475g squeezy bottle with a very fine nozzle, so there’s no need to decant it. It brightens up countless sweet and savoury dishes and gives starters, poultry, game and desserts a dramatic finishing touch. The ku-li® range includes Raspberry, Mango and Strawberry and Rhubarb flavours.
