Real ingredients. A little magic. Every bite.
The Flavorsmith began the way a lot of good things do — with someone fed up enough to do it themselves.
Bharat is a chef. Ritika is his co-founder and partner. Between them, they kept picking up supermarket condiments, turning the jars over, reading the labels — and putting them straight back down. Ingredient lists as long as your arm. Preservatives and fillers. Nothing they actually wanted on their two young daughters' plates.
So they started cooking their own. Real chillies, real honey, real ingredients — in small batches, in their own kitchen. The rule was simple: if they wouldn't feed it to their girls, it didn't get made.
Still made the same way
We haven't changed that. Every sauce is still made in small batches, by hand, from ingredients you can actually pronounce. No artificial preservatives. No nasties. Just clean, punchy flavour built to do one thing — elevate every bite of your food.
We think of it as the alchemy of food: real ingredients, a chef's hand, and a little magic in every jar.
The proof is in the tasting
And the trophy cabinet agrees. Our Verde took Gold at the 2026 Outstanding NZ Food Producers Awards, and Chipotle Maple earned Bronze at the 2025 NZ Artisan Awards.
You'll find us on the shelves at Moore Wilson's, Bin Inn and FreshChoice nationwide — and out front of our stall at farmers markets and food shows around the country, sample spoons at the ready.
Clean label. Chef-made. FSANZ-compliant. The condiments your pantry's been missing.
Taste what real ingredients do
Pour, drizzle, dip. Shop the range — or come say kia ora at a market, where there's nothing we love more than watching that first taste land.
