New sauces from Beerenberg

Beerenberg Farm, a premier Australia producer of home-style jams, marmalades and sauces, has launched four new products ‘to enhance any weeknight meal’.
They include new Spicy Seafood Sauce for a seafood platter, Peppercorn Sauce for a steak and Takatala Chutney and Caramelised Onions to add to an antipasto platter or as a side to a roast lamb dinner.

“The Spicy Seafood Sauce provides an additional kick compared to our Seafood Sauce and will liven up any seafood dish. And the Peppercorn Sauce has been perfected to provide the ideal accompaniment to a juicy steak,” said Beerenberg Managing Director Anthony Paech.

Mr Paech said that Beerenberg’s Takatala Sauce was one of the more exotically named products in the range and, with its nineteen herbs and spices, had something of a cult following.

“Our Takatala Sauce is made from a recipe given to us by a Zimbabwean farmer and over the years has attracted a bit of a cult following for its sweet yet mildly spicy flavour. The new Takatala Chutney has the sweet and spicy taste of the Takatala Sauce but contains generous portions of fruit and vegetables which give it a wholesome, homemade look and taste,” he added.

These new products take the Beerenberg range to a total of 57 products. All are made from carefully selected farm ingredients, using traditional recipes with no added artificial flavour, colour or preservatives.

Beerenberg’s products are sold locally, exported to Asia Pacific, used in four and five star hotels and restaurants, and on Qantas flights.
