South Australian brands Emmaline’s and Beerenberg have partnered to release a limited-edition raspberry jam tart, which combines the wholesale baking experience of Emmaline’s with Beerenberg’s much loved jam.
The Emmaline’s range is sold nationally, and was acquired earlier this year by Bedford backed social enterprise, Cultivate Food and Beverages, as part of its purchase of Adelaide Hills Foods. The acquisition boosted Cultivate’s workforce by over 70 employees and formed part of Bedford’s commitment to provide greater opportunities for people experiencing barriers to work.
Bedford Social Enterprises chief operating officer, Sam Hunter, said Cultivate is thrilled to bring this partnership with Beerenberg to life through the Emmaline’s brand.
“Cultivate’s head of product development, renowned Chef Tony Carroll, worked closely with the Beerenberg team to create the raspberry tarts which are being produced and packaged on-site at our Brooklyn Park facility in South Australia,” said Hunter.
“This partnership brings new opportunities for our aspiring young Chefs and Bakers at Cultivate, extending their learning and building new skills.”
The partnership with Beerenberg is a first for Cultivate, and is the first step in seeking opportunities to invest in new product development for its brands.
Beerenberg executive director brand and tourism, Sally Paech, said the team was delighted to partner with Cultivate and the Emmaline’s brand to deliver a unique product which uses their 100 per cent Australian grown raspberry jam.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with fellow South Australian brand, Emmaline’s, to deliver a delicious new product which uses our premium and much-loved raspberry jam.”
“The first-of-its-kind raspberry tarts have a buttery shortcrust pastry case and are filled with Beerenberg’s famous Raspberry Jam, made from top notch fruit. We've searched the country for the very best raspberries Australia has to offer, to make a raspberry jam we're proud to put our name on.”
The raspberry jam tarts are available in packs of six in selected Foodland Stores in South Australia, and across independent retail stockists nationally.
