Supermarket chain Lidl is pulling out all the stops this year to celebrate Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight with plans to unveil its biggest ever Scottish Larder in-store promotion.
A two week celebration of Scotland’s diverse and growing food and drink scene, Scottish Larder fortnight will see some of the nation's best producers put on show.
From an Edinburgh-based coffee manufacturer specialising in roast coffee to a vegan pea snack producer from Perthshire, the chain says shoppers will be able to pick up some of the country's best produce.
The Lidl team confirmed there will be a host of traditional Scottish flavours with a twist will be available including Haggis Pizza (£2.29), from family-run Edinburgh pizza makers Cosmo’s, and tasty rhubarb &a strawberry dairy ice cream from Aberdeenshire ice cream maker Mackie’s.
Scotland’s world-renowned seafood will also line the shelves, with Scotch Reserve Scottish Oak-Smoked Salmon (£2.99) from Dumfries-based smokehouse, St James, set to take centre stage.
The Scottish Larder event features other well-known family favourites including Tunnocks, Stoats, Lee’s and Simon Howie.
Available at Lidl’s 103 Scottish stores while stocks last, the Scottish Larder fortnight kicks off on 3rd September - the full range of products can be viewed here.
Paul McQuade, head of buying in Scotland, stated that they are delighted to continue to support Scottish producers, he said: “The latest Lidl Scottish Larder event champions the unique flavours Scotland has to offer, with a great mix of firm family favourites but also showcasing many new suppliers for the first time.
"At Lidl, we have a long-standing commitment to Scotland’s food and drink industry, with over 400 Scottish products in stores all year-round, and promotions like this additionally enable us to work with new suppliers across a breadth of product ranges.”
