What gets us up in the morning?
People. Just like you.
We get to chat with farmers, foodies, stockists and suppliers & everyone in between.
And our greatest challenge?
Coaxing blow-the-lights-out flavour from simple ingredients with classic cooking techniques is something that fascinates & constantly challenges us.
How did we get here?
In the late nineties, our founder, Kathleen Quillinan, wanted to be a professional opera singer and needed extra cash to fund her singing studies. She started exploring her other passion – food. Soon she was selling her baked and bottled goods at a local market, but it was the fresh pesto sauce that had people coming back.
Fast forward 25 years & we now have a team of over 100 inspiring men and women working at the Pesto Princess Palace. Much has changed since those early days, but the things that matter, like the recipes and the company culture, have stayed the same.
Our business philosophy
The Pesto Princess team is held together by the core value of caring. We understand caring to be love in action. Kathleen calls Pesto Princess a soul business where the entire human being is taken into consideration, and the planet is treated with the utmost respect.
“25 years on and everything we make is still free from added preservatives & colourants. Quality ingredients that are good for people & planet are the lifeblood of this business.”
– Kathleen Quillinan, Founder
