Our history dates back 40 years, when we started creating truly authentic flavours

An innovative approach to classical French recipes

Many great dishes are finished with a flourish of sauce and our story begins with one – authentic, delicious mayonnaise.


At a time when New Zealanders had little idea of what true mayonnaise was and how it tasted, Chef Maarten Groen arrived from the Netherlands and drew on his European heritage to create a mayonnaise he was sure would appeal to the tastes of the Pacific.


Over the following 40 years, we’ve stayed close to our food heritage while managing to
add a wide range of other sauces, dressings and condiments as tastes and trends evolved.
