Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about our sauces, seasonings, orders, and shipping.

  • Where are your products made?

    All our sauces, seasonings, and condiments are crafted in Melbourne's Yarra Valley. 100% Australian-owned and made.

  • Are your products award-winning?

    Yes — our range has taken out multiple awards, recognised for outstanding flavour and quality across our sauces and seasoning range.

  • What's the shelf life?

    Each product has a best-before date printed on the bottle or label. Most sauces and condiments are 12–18 months unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and use within a few months for best flavour.

  • Do I need to refrigerate the products after opening?

    All of our sauces and condiments should be refrigerated after opening. Seasonings do not need to be refrigerated.

  • Are your products vegan?

    Most of our range is vegan. Our mayonnaises contain egg. Full ingredient lists are on each product information page.

  • Are your products gluten-free?

    Most of our range is gluten-free. Full ingredient and allergen information is listed on each product page. Check the label carefully if you have a gluten intolerance.

  • Are your products suitable for coeliacs?

    We use gluten-free ingredients in most of our range, but our products are made in a shared facility. We recommend checking the label and consulting your doctor if you have coeliac disease.

  • Do your products contain nuts?

    Our products don't contain nuts as an ingredient, but they're made in a facility that may handle tree nuts. If you have a severe nut allergy, please check the label before consuming.

  • Where can I find full ingredient lists?

    Full ingredient lists are on each product page and on our What We're Made Of page.

  • How hot are your hot sauces?

    From mildest to hottest:

    • Jalapeño & Peach — medium. Fruity and balanced, great everyday heat.
    • Cayenne & Watermelon — medium-hot. Refreshing with a proper kick.
    • Habanero & Carrot — hot. Deeply fruity with serious burn.
    • Pineapple Reaper — very hot. Not for the faint-hearted.
  • I don't like very spicy food — which sauce should I try?

    Start with our Jalapeño & Peach — it's our most approachable hot sauce, with great flavour and manageable heat. If you prefer no heat at all, our BBQ sauces are bold and flavourful without any spice.

  • Are your BBQ sauces spicy?

    No — our BBQ sauces (Original, Coffee & Molasses, Banana Ketchup, Tomato Sauce) are flavour-forward without any heat. Bold, smoky, and delicious.

  • What do you recommend for BBQ and grilling?

    Our Original BBQ Sauce is the classic — great as a glaze or dipping sauce on ribs, pulled pork, and wings. The Coffee & Molasses BBQ Sauce is brilliant on beef. For dry rubs, our BBQ Pepper and Chicken Salt are crowd favourites.
