Elizabeth, NJ —Atalanta is excited to announce a new partnership with Rutherford & Meyer, a renowned New Zealand-based family-owned fruit paste and gourmet cracker producer. Rutherford & Meyer has been crafting delights since 1996. It began when two farming friends had a surplus summer harvest. They came together to preserve their delicious summer fruits using old family recipes, turning the robust flavors into something sensational. Those first fruit pastes awakened taste buds and long-forgotten food traditions and set the stage for their full line of products and flavors.
The exclusive partnership with Atalanta will allow Rutherford & Meyer to benefit and expand from Atalanta’s distribution, warehouses, sales, and marketing support. In turn, Atalanta is proud to grow its portfolio of gourmet accompaniments.
Jan Meyer, CEO of Rutherford & Meyer, says, “We truly care about what we put into our bodies—using only 100% natural ingredients to bring flavors to life and excitement to any gathering. Our world-famous fruit pastes have long been a cheeseboard must-have, whilst our range of wafers, crackers, and spreads provide the highest quality snacks and accompaniments.”
Rutherford & Meyer is proudly a woman-owned company and has taken significant measures to give back to the environment with a sustainability-first approach. Rutherford & Meyer identifies the problem of food waste and reliance on resources places strain on our environment. Their Up-cycled Grain Project takes the leftover grain from the brewing process into a range of delicious on-the-go snacks. By Up-cycling rescued leftover grain, they are reducing the reliance on new resources and pressure on the environment.
