Golden Cow and new Comber potatoes: spuds and butter are the perfect summer partners
With the long awaited arrival of the Comber ‘earlies’, Wilsons Country potatoes and Golden Cow butter have come together to remind consumers across Northern Ireland that there is no better way to enjoy new potatoes than simply ‘spuds and butter’.
After a harsh winter, the Comber potatoes are about a month behind schedule, but the arrival of the Comber ‘earlies’ is good news for spud fans across the province as the local variety is one of the most flavoursome and delicious potatoes of the season.
A bowl of new Comber potatoes paired with a knob of Golden Cow butter is a taste sensation guaranteed to transport you to summers past. The magical taste experience conjures up generations of images of your childhood, when ‘balls of flour’ and a generous knob of creamy butter were served up at your kitchen table.
These emotions are still very much part of our culinary choices today says Georgina Quain, brand manager at Golden Cow Butter: “Spuds and butter are very much a definitive part of Northern Irish life. From Tyrone to Antrim and from Armagh to Derry, the dish is one that will be a staple part of every household’s mealtimes in the coming weeks.
“As No.1 butter brand* in Northern Ireland, we are delighted to be linking up with Wilsons Country potatoes, another one of Northern Ireland’s favourite local brands to encourage people to celebrate this element of our heritage and enjoy the very best in home grown produce that our wonderful local landscape affords us.”
Angus Wilson, CEO of Wilsons Country said: “Our comber potatoes were harvested at the weekend, and we hope to have them with our network of retailers province-wide by the end of this week. We have been monitoring the crop daily and were delighted when we could finally harvest! The winter has been particularly cold and so delayed the crop, but thankfully the taste is as good as ever!”
