The Kiwi Importer is your home for "natural goodness." Founder, Sarah Ayala is a native of New Zealand previously worked in the fruit and vegetable industry, exporting fresh produce from New Zealand and Australia to some of the world's largest supermarkets.
When her husband's job relocated to the U.S., she found herself living in a new country, missing both her home and her job. After earning her PhD in collaborative agribusiness chains at The University of Tasmania, she founded Kiwi Importer as a means of both staying connected to her homeland and introducing pure and natural products to Americans.
Since being founding in 2014, The Kiwi Importer has grown by leaps and bounds. They offer 12 product categories from 22 partners. Yet, no product launch has been as exciting as Jenny's Kitchen Tamarind Chutney, which was created on Waiheke Island, New Zealand by retiree Jenny Stewart who later became the oldest recipient of New Zealand's coveted Cuisine Artisan Producer award at age 80. Partnering with Jenny's Kitchen to bring Tamarind Chutney to the U.S. was a notable coup for Kiwi Importer.
"People who love chutney will track down Jenny's Kitchen Tamarind Chutney from all ends of the earth. No exaggeration. Ask any foodie. It was a big deal to partner with them and it's an even bigger deal to be the sole distributor of the product here in the U.S.," said Ayala.
Our readers will like to know that Jenny's Kitchen Tamarind Chutney comes in mild, medium and hot and is vegetarian, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free. It's free from any artificial color or flavor, preservatives or stabilizers.
