Think Sauces

Think New Ivory

We think about nothing else…

At New Ivory, we develop and manufacture the freshest and best tasting sauces, gravies, marinades, dips and dressings for pouring over, dipping and drizzling. From classic fish and steak sauces and rich chicken, beef and onion gravies to gorgeous chocolate and toffee dessert sauces, all available in a wide and flexible range of packaging formats, our sauces make the meal complete.

We’re the UK leader in this growing market. We work with major UK retailers and food manufacturers. New Ivory is a business without compromise – the best people, the best processes, the best environment all coming together to produce the best product.

When Harry Met Sally

Some things are just better together...
Morecambe and Wise. Ebony and Ivory. Fish and Chips. Apart they’re OK, together they’re special. They bring out the best in each other. Like roast chicken and gravy, asparagus and hollandaise or cod and parsley. Our fabulous sauces make an ordinary meal wonderful.

We recognise that a meal is much more than the sum of the parts - it's how these components work together in perfect harmony. When we design sauces, we bear this in mind to create the perfect meal occasion. We don’t cut corners. We use the finest, freshest ingredients. We chase perfection around the kitchen until we’ve got it just so.

Take our Watercress Sauce – beautiful with a roasted salmon fillet. Most turn khaki when cooked. Not ours, which stays a wonderful vibrant green. We blend some of the watercress to release the colour, but keep the rest back until the end so it gets the least cooking it can. This extra care gives a really smooth, pale green peppery sauce that looks as good as it tastes.

The 'Intel' of the Food Industry

Solutions for product perfection
Out track record of innovation is such that one of our clients described us as the Intel of the food industry; praise indeed! Our Melting Middle chocolate and toffee sauces are truly ingenious – they melt to a perfect consistency when hot, all without a trace of migration to the pudding. Now that’s not just any pudding... that’s an industry first.

We add value to our customers at all stages of the process, from product design to process efficiency. We listen attentively to our customer’s requirements and add to it with our own detailed understanding of the consumer and market, bringing years of dedicated sector experience to the table.

We work proactively – our ideas make new products work and existing products work better. We solve food manufacturing problems, and we do it quickly. Talk to us – we’ve got the best minds in the business (some of them so old and wise, chances are they’ve done something similar before!)

There are no speed limits...

...on our road to excellence!
At New Ivory, we like to do things at pace. We build strong relationships fast, based on understanding your business and requirements quickly.

We bring pace to new product development – our chefs turn round samples rapidly from our on-site, state of the art development kitchen, bespoke to your specific requirements.

The development team love a challenge, and once they’ve cracked the flavour and food values you need, we’ll transfer the process to our flexible factory seamlessly. We’ll work quickly with your team to define the best packaging solutions from the myriad of options we have available. We’ll understand your supply chain to make sure the products reach their destination in perfect condition. And we’ll do it all at speed, to reduce your time to market. 

You can’t make a silk purse from a sow's ear

...nor a good sauce from bad ingredients

Kenny Harder is a New Ivory Team Leader, and a perfect example of our people. Kenny wasn’t happy with the efficiency of our mini bottle filler and unprompted, he improved performance by a staggering 40% through a nifty engineering solution.

You'll find people like Kenny throughout New Ivory. Our philosophy starts with people and teamwork. The knowledge, dedication, experience, devotion – there are so many qualities that bind our team together. Sure, we’re a mixed bunch: male and female, young and old (old-ish, some would rather we said), small, tall and from all corners of the planet, And yet we’re all united by a common purpose – to make the best sauces in the business.

 

We ooze Zubrance
