A Passion for Food, A Passion for Family

From one family to another, Sandhurst Fine Foods shares their passion for quality ingredients with discerning Kiwi foodies.
ESTABLISHED IN 1988
Sandhurst Fine Foods was established in 1988, but their heritage owes much to generations of ancestors in regional Italy where life revolved around working with the seasons to grow, harvest and preserve food. “One of my grandfathers was a fisherman, the other a farmer,” explains Mimmo, who today heads up the family business, alongside his brother Ray.
TIME-HONOURED TRADITIONS
Time-honoured traditions haven’t simply inspired Sandhurst's business, they are their business. Many of their preserving techniques and recipes are the same as they have been for centuries with closely-guarded recipes for marinades and pickling passed down through the generations.
Italian ingredients remain at the heart of their business and tastes with essential ingredients for global cuisines including Mexican, Greek, Asian, Lebanese and South American.
A FAMILY BUSINESS
Having persuaded Mimmo and Ray to leave the corporate world and join the family business, the Lubranos set about expanding the range to meet the needs and tastes of discerning foodies.
PASSION THAT DEFINES
Mimmo credits his parents for the passion that defines the Sandhurst business. “Be true to who you are. And for Italians that means being true to your roots… and true to your ingredients. Quality and authenticity are everything.”
