ALL NATURAL 'FREE FROM' PASTA SAUCE
Meru Herbs is a co-operative of family farmers who produce jams and sauces without the use of fertilisers and chemicals. They are focused on women empowerment, sustainable livelihoods, alleviating poverty, and improving standards of living.
A blend of juiciest red tomatoes and fresh basil leaves gives an aromatic and mouth-watering full flavour. It is an excellent store cupboard essential as it can be used straight from the jar as a 'heat up and eat' sauce for pasta or chicken, use as a pizza base, but can also be used as a rich tomato flavour base for dishes such as bolognaise, stews or any other tomato based dish.
The Guild of Fine Food had this to say about this delicious sauce:
"A vibrant, glossy natural looking deep red sauce which coats the pasta well. Real attitude in the flavour. Richly tomato with a cunning subtlety to the basil adding a sweetness and an aromatic note of interest. A mouth puckering sauce with real impact!"
The rich, fertile volcanic soil on the slopes of Mount Kenya has allowed farmers to grow the most succulent fruits and vegetables Meru Herbs has captured the identity, vitality and taste of the region in the sauces and jams. These all-natural sauces are made in small batches and have an incredibly fresh taste in every jar. No artificial anything is ever added - so Meru sauces suit many special dietary needs.
