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.
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.
This is a rich tomato sauce with a great balance of chilli - not overpowering but leaving a lovely tingle on your tongue.
Guild of Fine Food has made the following comments regarding this sauce:
"Bright natural colour of fresh tomato. Good coating consistency. The flavour is bright and fresh with a good balance of sweetness and acidity."
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.
