Himalayan salt tubs from Northern Irish meat business
Corries, the Northern Irish meat business, has developed a Himalayansalt product for home cooks wishing to add a distinctive flavour to their dishes.
The third generation family-owned and managed company has launched
the new condiment product as the first stage in a drive to grow its successful grass-fed beef processing business especially outside
Northern Ireland. The company has formed a new venture, The
Himalayan Salt Company, to market the salt.
Corrie's Himalayan Salt is being produced in 350g tubs (RRP ?2.75) wrapped in a sleeve and is a development from the company's
investment in a new chamber that uses Himalayan salt bricks from
Pakistan for dry-aging meat. The tubs will retail for around ?3 and are scheduled to go on sale in mid November.
William Corrie of Corries says: "We created our Himalayan Salt
Chamber earlier in the year to offer retail customers richly
flavoured dry-aged beef. It's been hugely successful and so we
decided to create the new salt flavouring product for use at home.
"It's a very pure and unrefined salt which is regarded as being
healthier for seasoning and flavouring. We'll be selling the tubs
initially in our network of shops in Northern Ireland and through
our website. Developing business outside Northern Ireland is a key
objective for us over the next few years.
"We see opportunities in the Republic of Ireland as a first stage
and would hope to open doors there and in Britain with the Himalayansalt product," he adds.
Corries, based on the family's beef and dairy farm near Newtownards in county Down, has been producing beef products for retail since
1974.
The family farm dates back to 1947 and has since grown to almost
1,000 acres of lush pasture in county Down with a beef herd of over 1,000 animals and a 500-strong dairy herd.
Beef is produced for the company's six butcher-deli shops in Belfastand also wholesale to butchers across Northern Ireland.
