After recently invested in a De Danieli High Temperature Tilting Kettle, we were keen to know more from Wild & Fruitful. More about the business, more about the purchase and more about their experience with us. So we caught up Director, Jake Winter and asked a few questions…
Who are Wild and Fruitful, and what do you do?
Wild & Fruitful is a small artisan preserves manufacturer based just outside Keswick in The Lake District with a wide and varied range of the highest quality Ketchups, Chutneys & Relishes, Jam, Honeys and Peanut Butters.
Wild & Fruitful is run by myself and my business partner David, I look after the food side and create all of the recipes and run the sales, David looks after the marketing and we have a small team of 13 employees who work for us.
We supply over 300 shops around the country from our home here in Cumbria to the South Coast of England up to far the North of Scotland and even over the sea in Northern Ireland.
Some of our most notable customers are Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, The Houses of Parliament shops, Booths, The Westmorland Family and Grasmere Gingerbread, we also sell online and deliver direct to your door.
Why have you chosen De Danieli?
We have chosen De Danieli for several reasons, firstly because they are very reliable machines and are so simple to use (we simply turn them on in the morning fill them up with fruit and veg and cook with them until everything is ready to be filled into jars, then wash them out and repeat the process!)
Secondly, they are just the right size for us, we make everything in small batches so we can cook our products in a way that doesn’t sacrifice the quality.
Thirdly, maintaining the machines is really easy we can do oil changes and replace most parts ourselves so there is no need for expensive engineers.
The De Danieli machines have really helped us upscale our production, since we purchased our first one in 2020 we have grown the business by twelvefold and now have five in total running five days a week for 10-12 hours per day.
