Abernethy Butter Scoops Business In London
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has welcomed the success of Abernethy Butter in Dromara in winning business from high-end retailer Fortnum and Mason in London.
Abernethy's hand churned and rolled butter was launched on Wednesday in the iconic store in Piccadilly. The business is Abernethy’s first significant retail success in Britain.
Arlene Foster said: "This is very good news for one of our smallest food processing businesses. Winning business from such a prestigious retailer as Fortnum and Mason is a tremendously important achievement by the husband and wife team Will and Allison Abernethy.
"They've created a highly innovative product which combines a distinctively rich taste with the heritage and provenance that shoppers are increasingly demanding."
The small company is the only manufacturer of handchurned butter in Northern Ireland. It also recently secured a contract to supply its unique butter to Heston Blumenthal's highly regarded Fat Duck restaurant at Bray in Berkshire.
