Now this St Patrick’s Day is a little different seeing as pubs are closed for a short while longer, still, Heinz are making sure we can still have a little Irish joy to celebrate.
They have created a limited-edition run of a very special mayo, created especially to honour the global day of celebration that is St. Patrick’s Day, 17th March 2021.
It’s a deliciously light twist on the classic - chefs have blended Heinz [Seriously] Good Mayonnaise, which is made with quality ingredients and free-range eggs, with actual shamrock. The shamrock has been grown in the fields of County Kerry, leading to the luscious green-hued and tasty mayo.
Heinz is launching [Seriously] Good Shamrock Mayo to bring a sprinkle of Irish cheer to foods traditionally loved on the Emerald Isle - whether it’s just on brown bread, in your sandwiches, or even dolloped onto some warm, chunky chips.
So I bet you’re wondering how you can get your hands on a jar? Well just 75 of Heinz [Seriously] Good Shamrock Mayo are available across the country. To get your hands on one and make your family, friends and neighbours green with envy, visit @HeinzUK on Facebook or @Heinz_UK on Instagram to find out more.
But be quick. Mayo fans only have until the end of the 17th March (St. Patrick’s Day itself) to be in with the chance of winning.
Heinz products are available from shops and supermarkets across the UK as well as their online store, www.heinz.co.uk.
On the launch, Maria Jantchi, Marketing Manager at Heinz UK, said: “When St. Patrick’s Day 2020 celebrations were cancelled all around the world last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we set about thinking how we could make this St. Patrick’s Day 2021 one to remember.
“And after a year of planning, testing and tasting, we are thrilled to present the first of its kind … it’s green, it’s creamy and it’s utterly delicious! It’s Heinz [Seriously] Good Shamrock Mayo. The most St. Patrick’s Day-y Mayo possible. We’re dying to hear what people think and what people serve it with. Who knows? Maybe it’ll be in stores in time for 2022 celebrations!”
Shamrock-grower James O’Leary, Irish Plants International, said: “Our shamrock has been carefully cultivated in Ballinaskelligs, Co Kerry, one of the greenest places in the southwest of Ireland, where the Irish language is still spoken fluently by the locals. We have been proudly growing our shamrock for 31 years, and supply the Taoiseach with the symbolic bowl of shamrock that is given to the President in the White House as a symbol of the countries’ friendship on St. Patrick's Day.
“Some might say ours is the most famous shamrock in the world, and who are we to argue with them! We were delighted to provide the shamrock to Heinz for this truly unique campaign to celebrate our Irish culture and we hope that anyone lucky enough to win a jar can taste the love and care we have put into nurturing our shamrock.”
