Rannoch Smokery, Scotland's specialist meat and game smoker, has unveiled its unique range of top quality, award winning smoked products.

Creating a major new profit opportunity for caterers, Rannoch's recognised quality, premium products comprise the Company's flagship smoked venison along with smoked pheasant, smoked lamb, smoked carpaccio, smoked goose, smoked duck and new pressed game terrine.

Rannoch's catering range comes in pre-sliced 250g skin-wrapped packs that lend themselves to portion control, ensure minimum wastage and are highly versatile. They are ready to serve and have a long natural shelf life with no additional preservatives.

All products are sourced from, where possible, sustainable Scottish sources and adhere to high standards of animal welfare. The range is constantly evolving and is supplied chilled to maintain quality. It will add value to chefs and caterers nationwide, for example, a starter of cold smoked venison with rocket and goats cheese with a menu price of £6.00 yields a gross profit margin of 75%. A menu price of £12.00 gives a profit of 87%. Unsliced product is also available to suit customer preference.

Richard Barclay, managing director of Rannoch Smokery, comments: "Rannoch's award-winning range has been available through retail outlets since the mid-1980's. New personnel and additional resources have recently been put in place to enable the Company to expand further into the foodservice sector and realise the true potential of our quality products.

We are proud to produce the very finest and best smoked meats on the market and the time is now right to focus on foodservice. With consumers becoming ever more discerning, we urge chefs and caterers to get behind our unique range and make the most of the excellent profit opportunities that it offers."

Orders are dispatched daily Monday-Thursday for delivery next day Tuesday–Friday. Selected chefs will be invited to Rannoch Smokery in order to witness the skill, dedication and craft behind the production of the range.
