The Little Red’s journey.

The Little Red’s journey began with a challenge: create a delicious range of sauces for friends and family. What followed was countless batches, experiments with ingredients and methods, long days, late nights, and plenty of ups and downs. Each batch helped shape the range we make today.

Although Little Red’s is a one-person company, it has never been a solo journey. The encouragement, honest feedback and support of friends and family have been there every step of the way. We wouldn’t be where we are without them.

We believe good food deserves great flavour. That’s why we take a hands-on approach, making our sauces with fresh ingredients and care from start to finish. We’re proud of the awards our sauces have earned, and of the customers who keep coming back for another bottle.

From a spicy kick to something more mellow, there’s a Little Red’s for different tastes and different tables. Whether you’re cooking from scratch, firing up the barbecue or giving an everyday favourite a lift, we want our sauces to earn their place beside your plate.

Some lovely recognition.
