The iconic Tasmania Bakeries’ National Pies will now live up to its name, with a range of its pies now available on the mainland. 

Tasmanian Bakeries CEO Geraldine Tebbutt said the Hobart-based company will celebrate its 80th year, with Woolworths stores in Victoria, Queensland, and Tasmania stocking its new products. 

On offer is a Classic Beef & Pepper Pie; Chicken & Camembert Pie; Chunky Beef, Red Wine & Mushroom Pie; and a Jumbo Sausage Roll. 

Tebbutt said the range extension was a result of how well the core range of proper pies and proper littles have been received. 

“National Pies is renowned for its high-quality standards in every stage of production, starting with using only the best ingredients produced in Tasmania. Our pies and sausage rolls are baked daily in Hobart and delivered fresh to stores across Australia,” said Tebbutt. 

She added the range is hormone free and made with 100 per cent Australian beef. 

Baked fresh in Hobart daily, all pies are coated with 128 layers of pastry and use local ingredients. 

“Because the pies are delivered fresh, the range is stocked in the chiller section of supermarkets instead of the frozen section,” Tebbutt said. 

Tasmanian Bakeries National Pies range is sold for RRP $7.50 per two pack.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
