To do this our team gathers a large range of foods then sits down and tastes them. We ignore branding, artwork and packaging and focus on tangible quality, we assess products on visual appeal, aroma, texture and flavour. We then spend a great deal of time making a short list and then a final cut. Next we take a look at each item’s value and work out how they will perform in the kitchen, on the restaurant dining table and in the deli display. We reject far more products than we ever accept into our range. Sometimes we work with producers to fine tune a product to suit the needs of our customers. All the products that we accept in the range are stored and transported in a manner that sees them arrive at your business in optimum condition.We know the world is hungry for great food stories.
Our producers are all quite amazing people and all with a unique story to tell. There are no secrets when it comes to passing on the stories, experience and information of our producers to our customers. We want you to be part of their story. The team at Savour and Grace have all been in the food business for a long time so we have the know how to connect you to products that will give your customers a unique experience at a food cost that’s right for your business. Being a small team means we can act fast, look after our customers in our friendly manner, keep our eye on the details making sure you get what you need, when you need it, every time.
The questions we are constantly asking ourselves are, 'how can we add value to your business?' and 'what can we do to help you and your business succeed?'.
How we work
We are a small team of people who work and live food. Good food. Food that nourishes the body and nurtures the soul. Food that embodies the traditional skills and the values they convey. The type of food that we seek out – well made, mostly artisanal, we believe helps people reconnect to a simpler, slower age. When people had time to ferment, cure and preserve their own cheese, fish and salume. Enjoying these foods together in a relaxed environment creates memorable moments and brings pleasure.
And this is for everyone. The foods we gather in our business are often best in class, but are affordable. Affordable luxuries for people who love great food. Because we know you are what you eat.
In delivering small batch preserved and fermented foods to our customers, together we are helping small producers remain profitable therefore continuing their traditional skills. These are skills that are based on the seasonality of food. Cheese, salume, cured olives, for example, are all ways of preserving the best produce of the season to enjoy all year round. We admire this way of thinking, when the seasonal surplus is preserved and nothing is wasted.
And as you can probably tell, we love nothing more than sharing our respect and admiration for the people who make these foods. We want to help you tell the world about their stories and share the amazing collection of food we have curated. In the end the focus is on the food, it’s on you and what you do with that food. We are proud to be working quietly behind the scenes to help you.
