Sustainable Sauces
We’re on a mission to turn surplus and “imperfect” produce into something extraordinary. Delicious chutneys and sauces that fight food waste, while supporting British farmers. We’re just getting started, with exciting flavours and fresh ideas on the way, so stay tuned, there’s plenty more goodness to come.
Our story
Our founder, Chef Matt Henman, grew up surrounded by rows of fresh produce on his family's allotment. Places where crooked carrots and sun-dented apples were never rejected, but celebrated. From an early age, Matt learned the joy of harvesting food with his hands and the quiet pride of turning it into something nourishing. That respect for ingredients, all shapes and sizes, never left him.
After 25 years in the hospitality industry, winning awards as a chef and running everything from pubs to catering businesses, Matt saw an opportunity to take his lifelong passion a step further. He was increasingly frustrated by how much good food went to waste, often just because it wasn’t “pretty” enough for supermarket shelves. With Sustainable Sauces, he set out to change that: to make incredible, flavour-packed condiments from produce that would otherwise be lost, and to create a business that does more than just sell sauces, it tells a story and fuels a movement.
Flavour of the Month
Taste good. Do good with…
Gran’s Fig, Apple & Cranberry Chutney
Bursting with the rich sweetness of figs, the crisp brightness of apples, and the tart sparkle of cranberries, this chutney is Christmas in a jar.
This is only one of the amazing chutneys, compotes and sauces available at Sustainable Sauces.
