With this welcome addition to the extensive range of seasonal fare, Lidl are the first retailer to permanently list Hassetts Bakery as a supplier of the Rachel H’s brand and some Christmas Lidl Deluxe lines.
The Rachel H’s desserts are, like all Lidl products, of the highest quality at an affordable price.
Once again underlining Lidl’s support for local businesses, these mouth-watering Rachel H’s treats will add a true festive flavour to any gathering over the holidays.
“At Lidl, supporting and developing our Irish supplier network has always been a priority for us and now, more than ever, we are committed to investing in local partners,” says Kevin Haverty, Buying Director, Lidl.
“Our increased focus on desserts has been enthusiastically embraced by customers locally and we’re pleased to work with Douglas-based Hassett’s Bakery to develop an extensive range of fresh, great-tasting and locally-produced products with the authentic taste of Cork.”
A Cork-based bakery, Hassetts Bakery supplies a selection of high-end breads, confectionery, biscuits and cracker products.
Founder Michael Hassett developed a passion for baking during his years working as a trained chef in Europe during the early 1980s.
On returning home in 1984, he established a wholesale bakery in Douglas dedicated to using only the finest local ingredients. As demand grew for his artisan bread and confectionary products, four years later he opened his first shop.
With a reputation for excellence well established across the city, Michael then expanded into the nearby town of Carrigaline in 1995.
Some 36 years later, Hassetts now offer a wide range of products including artisan breads and confectionery: cakes, desserts, biscuits, crackers, granolas, chocolates and ice creams. The bakery has achieved many notable awards, including Blas na hEireann, Great Taste Award, Artisan Business of the Year and Best Cork Export Business.
The company’s manufacturing capacity has evolved at an impressive rate in recent years, with staff numbers continuing to grow. Distribution across the nation is now well underway, in addition to exports to the UK, Canada, France, Germany and the US.
“I believe good quality food produced locally is the secret to our success so far,” says Michael Hassett. “We’ve proven that our passion and respect for the art of artisan baking and confectionery can stand the test of time. We are now committed to delivering our craft far and wide.”
Hassetts is committed to delivering quality and innovative baking and confectionery products to all its customers every day.
A team of skilled bakers and confectioners from Ireland, France, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Germany and Spain contribute to the variety of products that are available daily.
“All our recipes are closely guarded secrets — it took a lot of time to develop them,” explains Noreen Foley, Business Manager, Hassetts. “We take time to source the best ingredients available locally and we continuously improve our processes in alignment with our sustainable future ethos. We will continue to respect and develop the art of baking introducing exciting new flavours and textures.
