All of our chutneys are based on traditional Southern recipes that are sweet, savory and delicious with all sorts of meals and sandwiches.

Since they are all natural and full of fruit, you will not find any fat or artificial preservatives.

Clare grew up in East Africa and Nevill grew up in England. They met in the Caribbean where they made mango and pineapple chutneys as well as two sons, Oliver and Christopher.

When we all moved to Virginia we discovered that the American South had a rich tradition of chutney making. An interesting thing about chutney is how its ingredients and applications reflect the local region. For instance, in India they use tamarind chutneys with curry, the English love Ploughman’s lunch, Caribbean cuisine serves mango chutney on fish, New England loves cranberries and maybe Lap Landers enjoy cloudberry chutney on reindeer! However, here in Virginia, the traditional chutneys are peach, apple, and green tomatoes often served with ham, cold chicken and roast pork.
