Fortune Fish & Gourmet, the prominent U.S. seafood and gourmet specialist and parent company of D'Artagnan, recently unveiled its 'Holiday Catalog 2024'.

This exclusive collection is meticulously crafted to elevate holiday gatherings with a handpicked assortment of artisanal delicacies and gourmet delights.

Packed with extraordinary offerings designed to spark festive joy, this year's catalogue showcases premium venison products sourced from Mountain River Venison.

Fortune Fish & Gourmet proudly promotes the brand, stating:

Cuisine360 Ltd, a Nelson-based exporter of premium NZ food, is actively promoting Mountain River Venison. Andrew Cardiff is the Head of Sourcing for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands at Cuisine360 Ltd, which is active in the Thai market. Mountain River Venison A trim is being sold in Makro via Cuisine360.

Makro is part of CHAROEN POKPHAND FOODS (CPF), the world's leading food conglomerate with revenue in the billions. CPF's strength lies in its reach across a range of industries and businesses: it is multinational, vertically integrated, and agro-industrial.

CPF controls around 70% of Thai retail through Makro (the Thai version of Costco), Lotus's, and 7-Eleven - Hotel, Restaurant, and Café/Catering (HORECA).

Cuisine360 participated in NZTE's recent Made With Care Fair, held from June 12 to 25, 2024, at one of Makro's Bangkok stores. Consumers and visitors enjoyed a Japanese venison curry to highlight the versatility of New Zealand venison.
