About

At Grandma Sauce, the secret to our rich, home-cooked flavors lies in the ingredients we choose. We believe that every sauce should not only taste delicious but also reflect the quality and care that goes into creating it. Our commitment to using the finest, freshest ingredients sets us apart and ensures that every jar of Grandma Sauce is a step closer to bringing you wholesome, traditional flavors.

​

1. Fresh, Locally Sourced Produce

Our sauces begin with the freshest ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible. We work closely with trusted farmers to ensure that every vegetable, herb, and spice used in our sauces is of the highest quality. Fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, and bell peppers are the foundation of many of our sauces, providing natural sweetness and depth to every recipe. By choosing local produce, we not only support small-scale agriculture but also guarantee that our sauces are as fresh and flavorful as they can be.

2. Natural, Preservative-Free Ingredients

At Grandma Sauce, we believe that the best flavors come from nature. That’s why we avoid using artificial preservatives, flavors, or additives in our sauces. Our recipes are crafted to highlight the natural goodness of each ingredient, allowing their full flavors to shine. We rely on time-honored methods of cooking and preserving, ensuring that the sauces stay fresh while retaining their authentic taste.

To maintain the integrity of our sauces, we use natural preservatives like vinegar, salt, and lemon juice. These ingredients not only enhance the flavor but also keep the sauces fresh for longer, without the need for synthetic chemicals.

3. Quality Spices and Herbs

A sauce’s flavor profile is only as good as the spices and herbs used to season it. At Grandma Sauce, we use a carefully curated blend of high-quality spices, sourced from the best regions around the world. Our basil, oregano, thyme, and parsley are picked at their peak freshness, ensuring that each herb delivers a burst of flavor. These herbs are combined with the perfect balance of spices like black pepper, cumin, paprika, and coriander to create complex, layered flavors that elevate every dish.

The balance of spices in each sauce is critical, and we’ve perfected this through years of experimentation and passion for culinary excellence. Whether it’s a hint of heat from red chili flakes or the earthy warmth of cumin, each spice plays a role in creating the signature taste of Grandma Sauce.

4. Olive Oil and Other Premium Fats

Good fats play an essential role in any sauce, enhancing the richness and helping to blend the flavors seamlessly. We use high-quality extra virgin olive oil in many of our recipes, not just for its healthy properties but also for the depth it adds to the sauce’s texture and taste. Olive oil has been a staple in Mediterranean cooking for centuries, and we bring that same tradition into our sauces.

In some of our creamier sauces, you’ll find butter or coconut oil, chosen for their natural, unprocessed qualities. These ingredients give the sauces a velvety finish while keeping them rich in flavor but gentle on your health.

​

5. Non-GMO, Sustainable Ingredients

At Grandma Sauce, we take pride in being environmentally conscious and socially responsible. All our ingredients are non-GMO, meaning they are free from genetically modified organisms. This is part of our larger commitment to sustainability, as we strive to support farming practices that are not only better for the environment but also for the health of our customers.

Additionally, we actively seek out ingredients that are grown using sustainable farming practices, reducing the environmental footprint of our products. We believe that great taste should never come at the expense of the planet.

6. No Added Sugars or Artificial Sweeteners

Unlike many commercial sauces that rely on added sugars or artificial sweeteners to enhance flavor, Grandma Sauce relies on the natural sweetness of our ingredients. Our ripe tomatoes, caramelized onions, and slow-cooked peppers provide just the right amount of natural sweetness, so you can enjoy a well-balanced sauce without any of the extra, unnecessary sugars.

For those who prefer a slightly sweeter touch, we use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup in some of our recipes. These add a mild sweetness without overpowering the sauce, keeping the flavors clean and balanced.
