General manager sales, USA

Remember when you were a kid, you always knew that going back home to mom’s cooking will cheer you up no matter how bad your day was at school? This is because it’s more than just about the taste, when your mother cooks. It’s the love and care she puts into her cooking, and the sheer freshness of the meal itself that comforts you. Our foods are very much the same. We’ve poured our love into them by using only natural ingredients and keeping it preservative-free all the way. With our new proposition #MadeWithLove, we look to redefine the language of love, through food.
