Ouse Valley Foods was formed during May 2004. Following a highly successful season producing fresh hollandaise sauce it became apparent that there was a growing interest and demand for foods that ‘accessorise’.

The introduction of other fresh sauces together with a range of conserves and chutneys coincided with perfecting a method of making crystal clear jellies, the ingredients magically suspended within their bright coloured set.They remain the centrepiece of Ouse Valley Foods.

Of paramount importance is the hand prepared aspect of our products. As far as possible, we use a variety of locally grown as well as foraged produce. Only small batches are made at any one time. We use a minimum of 50% fruit or vegetables and our own unique blends of herbs and spices in all of our recipes.

Our range has a seasonal feel to it and stock varies according to availability. We use no artificial additives. There may be slight changes in colour between batches due to the fruit and vegetables’ natural colouring.

A choice of highly individual cakes is also extremely popular. The recipes are developed
by us and often include intriguing mixtures, textures and flavours - reflecting a further use of fresh fruit and vegetables.

As ‘Ouse Valley Foods’ grows, our commitment to carefully made and wholly unique produce remains the same.
