everyone to enjoy at home. With a diverse range of
global cuisines to choose from, Passage Foods truly

The essence of Passage Foods is the successful
combination of three principles:
True Authenticity – At Passage Foods we take great care
to ensure all of our products remain true to traditional
recipes. We create the best tasting cooking sauces using
the highest quality ingredients, which is why our award
winning cooking sauces deliver unparalleled flavour and

time our palate has become more discerning. With
Passage Foods cooking sauces, a delicious meal can be

sauces create restaurant quality flavour fast – making

All Natural & Gluten Free – We know that many people
are concerned about the use of artificial colours,
flavours, flavour enhancers and preservatives. That’s
why we have developed our products with all natural
ingredients. Additionally, we’ve made a commitment to
ensure all of our sauces are gluten free. The great thing
is, we’ve been able to do so without compromising on
quality or flavour.

3. Our chef and founder, Chris Doutre, arrived
in Australia in 1980, bringing his impressive
knowledge, talent and long association with North
Indian cuisine. He soon established a popular
restaurant in Brisbane, which he owned and
operated for many years. Although winning many
awards as a restaurateur, Chris was determined
to share his passion for his native cuisine with all
of Australia. In 2004 he formed a partnership with
Flavour Makers Pty Ltd, a young and successful food
manufacturing business, and from this partnership
Passage Foods was born. The vision for Passage
Foods quickly grew beyond Indian cuisine. Since its
inception Chris has worked tirelessly with specialist
chefs to create a diverse range of products covering
many of the world’s cuisines. Today consumers all
over the world can benefit from Chris’s dream by
enjoying his range of authentic, natural, and easy
to use cooking sauces.

we’ve added sweet cherry tomatoes, garlic and of
course a hint of basil.
