Mey Selections is a brand exclusive to Sainsbury’s and inspired by His Royal Highness The Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay. Mey Selections captures the real flavour of the unspoilt environment of the Scottish North Highlands, whilst ensuring a sustainable and profitable future for local farmers, fishermen and food producers.
The farmers and food producers in the North Highlands are passionate about their work ensuring that all Mey Selections products use traditional methods and authentic ingredients. By paying a premium to all its producers, Mey Selections ensures a sustainable future as well as promoting the economic development of the Scottish North Highlands.
All Mey Selections products originate from within 100 miles of the Castle of Mey, not far from John O’ Groats, on the very north tip of the Scottish North Highlands and this guarantees that our products and ingredients capture the real flavour of this remote and unspoilt environment.
Mey Selections is committed to using local ingredients and the highest standards of food production to produce premium quality food for Sainsbury’s and its discerning customers.
