A Local Partnership with Global Appeal

Parched isn’t just a supplier—they’re part of the family. Located on-site at Hannigan Drive, the collaboration is built on proximity, trust, and shared values around quality and sustainability. This close relationship ensures seamless distribution and consistent stock availability for hospitality clients.

Why Parched Garnishes Stand Out

Crafted in small batches using locally sourced fruit, Parched garnishes are:

  • 100% natural – no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial colors
  • Visually stunning – vibrant slices that elevate any drink or dish
  • Long-lasting – shelf-stable for up to 12 months
  • Versatile – ideal for cocktails, grazing boards, desserts, and more

Popular options include blood orange wheels, citrus mixes, and spritz blends, all available through The Produce Company’s online store.

Precision Matters: Portion Control & Costing

In hospitality, portion control is key to maintaining profitability and consistency. Parched garnishes are designed with this in mind:

  • Pre-sliced and portioned for exact usage
  • Consistent sizing ensures uniform presentation
  • Predictable cost per serve helps with accurate menu pricing and inventory planning

This makes Parched ideal for venues focused on cost control, waste reduction, and premium presentation—without the hassle of prepping fresh fruit daily.

Why Order Through The Produce Company?

As New Zealand’s most trusted foodservice distributor, The Produce Company offers:

  • Fast, reliable delivery 
  • Easy online ordering via the web The Produce Company | Store
  • Expert support from a team that understands the needs of chefs and bartenders

Final Garnish

Whether you're crafting cocktails for a bustling bar or curating a high-end event, Parched Garnishes offer the perfect blend of style, sustainability, and precision. And with The Produce Company as your Foodservice partner, you can count on quality, consistency, and convenience—every time.
