UK Based Caribbean Savouries Makes an Ethical Difference in Jamaica

London, United Kingdom, October 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- As many companies spend most of their time focusing on keeping profits to themselves during the economic downtown; one company is making a difference and reaping the rewards. In May 2009; Caribbean Savouries launched its new range of flavours with the help of the Jamaican High Commissioner, Hon. Burchell Whiteman OJ. Two new flavors of authentic Jamaican Patties build upon the success of their existing range. The new flavours of Jerk Chicken and Curry Chicken will be in addition to the three existing flavours of Spicy Beef, Mild Beef and the Vegetable patty which is wrapped in a wholemeal crust which has no cholesterol, a healthy addition to anyone’s diet.

As part of its ongoing vision to make a difference, Caribbean Savouries Ltd has been contributing to a number of grassroots projects and charitable programmes. It recently donated a medical bus to the Jamaican government which provides medical and dental care throughout the island. Scholarships have been established by the company at the UWI for the island students who have proven that they can go to the next level. A building has also been provided for women with HIV and other illnesses which provides accommodation them and medical care, this is run by Fr. Richard Holung. Caribbean Savouries are also proud to be sponsors of the Noel Holmes Memorial Hospital and West Haven Children Home for vulnerable children across Jamaica, which is based in Hanover and provides much needed medical equipment to the hospital and home in Jamaica, the Jamaican High Commissioner His Excellency Hon. Burchell Whiteman is also the patron of this Charity.

The two new flavours contain chunky boneless chicken wrapped in a light golden pastry dough. Jerk is the authentic seasoning native to Jamaica in which meats are marinated with a spicy hot mixture which includes over 30 herbs and spices. The Curry Patty is spiced with special Jamaican Curry powder. All of the spices are imported from Jamaica and contributes towards the Jamaican economy by providing jobs and foreign exchange. By advocating these charitable projects & giving back to the Jamaican economy Caribbean Savouries is an example of how any British business can make a difference anywhere whilst still enjoying true success in its chosen industry.
