Colleen’s Handmade Sauces Seeks To Provide South Africa With Premium Sauces
Colleen’s Handmade Sauces Seeks To Provide South Africa With Premium Sauces. Colleen’s Handmade Sauces is a South African sauce brand that was founded by Colleen Flowers. Her fondest childhood memories was spending time in the kitchen with her mom and grandmother getting to know all the family favourite dishes. These experiences gave Colleen the start in this culinary world and as she grew older using a modern twist she created her own version of those recipes.
“Being a foodie by heart I enjoyed extensive local travels and loved exploring South African cuisine. Some of my favourite memories was when my sons were young, I would allow them to choose a country from the globe and prepare a dish from that country. It was truly great moments watching their faces as we enjoyed the meal around the dining table.” said Colleen.
Her love for everything chilli is how Colleen’s Handmade Sauces came about. After experimenting in the kitchen looking for the perfect blend minus all the preservatives found in shop bought sauces, Colleen created her all-time favourite Bird’s Eye Chili Sauce which she shared with all the other chilli addicts at the office.
This led to orders being placed for the homemade chilli sauce, which started off in glass bottles with hand painted black board hearts personalised in white chalk. The love for chilli and the hand painted heart has always stayed with the brand. The founder took the bold move to leave corporate life to start her sauce business full time. It has inspired her to become more creative with some of the sauce flavours which is now at 14 different flavour infusions as well as a vegan sugar free mayonnaise range.
The company’s dedication to supporting local farmers is at the heart of the brand. By sourcing its ingredients locally, the company not only promotes sustainability but also contributes to the vibrant community of organic farmers who share its passion for wholesome, natural ingredients.
