Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Love NI Food Podcast #8 – Liquid Gold: Leona’s Story Behind Broighter Gold Rapeseed Oil
Q: Leona, would it be fair to say there is a little misunderstanding around the health benefits of oilseed rape?
Leona explains that their rapeseed oil is cold-pressed, not chemically extracted, and highlights the nutrient balance and health benefits, emphasizing the product's olive-oil-like processing and the importance of terroir and seed quality.
The Love NI Food podcast #2 The story of Mash Direct - the family that bet everything on champ.
Q: How does one go about securing a national listing, Jack? Can you explain the process to us?
It starts with proving demand locally, then showing buyers that the product can scale—using direct store-by-store outreach, building a compelling field-to-fork story, and supporting it with consistent quality and strong logistics before approaching central distribution and major retailers.
Love NI Food Podcast #7 – Baking Tradition & Innovation with John Hopkins (Irwin’s Bakery)
Q: What do you think is the future for the bakery industry? How healthy is it?
The industry faces long-term pressure with overcapacity and profitability challenges, leading to anticipated restructuring, but there is potential in core ranges, efficient distribution, and continued demand for branded, high-quality products with innovative extensions.
Love NI Food Podcast #7 – Baking Tradition & Innovation with John Hopkins (Irwin’s Bakery)
Q: Have you chefs working on new product development? Do they bring that to the business development team?
Yes, we have a technical and MPD team, an insight function, and a chef on the account team who can advise on flavors and presentation, enabling co-creation of new products with customer input.
Love NI Food Podcast #7 – Baking Tradition & Innovation with John Hopkins (Irwin’s Bakery)
Q: John, what changes, John, have you witnessed over that time, in terms of consumer tastes and trends?
Consumer tastes have diversified from traditional batch loaves to a wide array of breads, including wraps, brioche, and health-focused options like high-fiber bread, with retailers focusing more on data, consumer insights, and listing windows to drive product success.
