Storage
Q: How long can I keep my fresh produce for?
A: We recommend consuming any fresh produce within 1 day of receipt. We then recommend freezing it as soon as possible to maintain optimum freshness.
Q: Can I freeze my delivery?
A: Any of our products that you have received fresh (not listed as frozen) have never been frozen before. This means that you can portion and freeze as required. You can of course put your frozen items straight into your freezer as well. We guarantee that they have never been defrosted as they are taken straight from our freezer warehouse and transported to your home in the specially adapted freezer cabin of our trucks.
Q: How long can I keep my frozen produce for?
A: We recommend consuming any frozen produce within 6 months of the date the item is frozen for maximum freshness.
Frozen vs Fresh
Q: Why is 'fresh' not an option for some products?
A: Under AVA regulations, there are certain products that we have to import frozen - pork from the UK, chicken & duck from anywhere in the world.
Other products we choose to have frozen at source - Inverawe Smoked Fish, all white fish from New Zealand. This is because the shelf life of seafood is very short and we believe it is much better to seal in the freshness at source by freezing the fish as soon as it has been processed.
Some products we import fresh but freeze as soon as they arrive. These include our lamb mince, diced beef & lamb, stir fry beef. Because these products have been cut into very small pieces, they have a much shorter shelf life. We therefore choose to freeze these when they arrive, again to seal in the freshness. Other beef and lamb products have much longer shelf lives.
Our Very Own Meals and Pies are frozen immediately - natures way of preserving, rather than using nasty preservatives.
Q: Do you ever defrost any products and sell them as 'fresh', 'chilled' or 'defrosted'?
A: No we do not, a lot of stores do this as some people perceive frozen as being inferior to fresh. We prefer to be completely transparent and keep our products in the best condition to seal in freshness and flavour. If something is fresh on our website, we guarantee it has never ever been frozen.
Product Labelling
Q: Why are your products no longer advertised as hormone & antibiotic-free?
A: As per SFA rules, no products from any retailer are allowed to be labelled as hormone free. For more info, click here.
Products (Beef/ Lamb)
Q: Why is my meat/mince red on the outside and brown in the middle?
A: Meat/mince, especially beef and lamb, has a red colour due to the presence of haemoglobin, which is the component that makes blood red. Once exposed to air, haemoglobin reacts with oxygen giving meat its characteristic "blood red" colour. The surface sections of the meat/mince exposed to air will develop this red colour while the sections on the interior will remain a darker hue. As the meat/mince is allowed to come in contact with air, it will gain its red colour. The industry term for this is 'blooming'. This is a very common occurrence, and does not affect the quality of the meat.
Q: What is the difference between striploin and sirloin?
A: The striploin (called the shortloin in the US) is the part of the loin from just behind the ribs, whereas the sirloin is further back. The striploin is generally more tender than the sirloin, as it is a lesser used muscle.
Products (Poultry)
Q: How do I select the perfect cut of chicken for my tastes and requirements?
A: Chicken thighs are best for frying as they have a higher moisture content than chicken breasts. They are also the perfect choice for many oven baked chicken dishes due to their high moisture content– see our recipes page for inspiration.
Chicken breasts are best when coated in breadcrumbs or baked in a sealed packet as this helps to retain the moisture, stopping the meat from drying out during cooking.
Q: What are the feeds given to your local chicken?
A: The chicks are fed with a specially formulated feed that is 100% natural. It is made up of natural corn feed (95% of the feed), crushed soya beans, selenium and probiotics (which build up their immunity naturally).
Products (Pork)
Q: Is pork considered a red or white meat?
A: According to wikipedia, pork is considered white meat under the culinary definition but red meat in nutritional studies. We will leave you to decide but we have placed pork in the No Red Meat Boxes as we have approached these from a culinary perspective.
Products (Fish)
Q: Are there bones in / scales on the fish?
A: All of our fish fillets have been filleted, scaled and deboned. However, as with all filleted fish, there is a small chance a bone or scale may have been missed so please be aware of this.
Products (Dairy)
Q: Are your products pasteurised?
A: Our milk is pasteurised.
Products (Halal)
Q: Are any of your products Halal?
A: Whilst our warehouse is not Halal certified, all produce from the following suppliers are certified Halal from source:
- Coastal Lamb from New Zealand
- Toh Thye San from Malaysia
- L'grow from Australia
