Sauce producti0n is a skilled and time consuming activity. This is why the sauce chef of the kitchen staff was traditionally considered to be a great technician.

Fernand Point, a restaurateur who is considered to be the

father of modern French cuisine, quoted:

"In the orchestra of a great kitchen,

                                            the sauce chef is a soloist"

The Little Sauce Company was founded in 2008 by Marco Fontana Ros, producing fresh premium quality sauces that are uniquely innovative and of outstanding flavour.


The Little Sauce Company is recognised by many as a true beacon of quality that stands out for real food lovers who seek out good producers who use only quality natural ingredients.


Our purpose is to offer an alternative product that distinguishes itself from the vast number of mass produced sauces that lack the quality ingredients of a premium product.  Our sauces are made by passionate, skilled artisans, who value the essence of quality sauces and the provenance of their ingredients.


The Little Sauce Company’s story began with a stall selling both traditional and new concept sauces at various farmers’ markets in and around London, the ideal location to test budding product concepts and ideas. Most surprisingly children were their biggest and most outspoken fans, and mothers returned week after week to purchase the sauces. In one particular case, a mother said our sauces proved to be the only way to get her kids to eat their vegetables!


Once the word was out, many delicatessens and farm shops in and around the capital became enthusiastic about the products. Compliments received from some of the UK’s best chefs are testament to the fantastic quality and flavour range of the products, which now are supplied fresh in catering sizes to the high end food service sector.

Marco Fontana Ros, Director and Development Chef of The Little Sauce Company, who himself is Italian and is the driving force behind the brand that makes it so much more than just another sauce company, explains his motives for introducing his delicious ambient range of pasta sauces: “After growing up with authentic home-made pasta and sauces, I found I missed eating those real flavours when I moved to London, and felt I could find them nowhere unless I cooked them myself. I noticed a gap in the market for real Italian sauces that are 100% natural and taste authentic, made with the finest ingredients by experts.”


Marco continues: “When I sit down to eat plate of pasta, I expect to be transported straight to that old idyllic piazza in a remote corner of Italy, where flavour, passion and inspiration are tangible and can literally be picked out from the air”.
