Ron and Emelia Prendergast became restaurateurs in the 1990's. After several years in the trade and many years of making condiments and sauce creations, emelia's has produced a unique array of the finest products, culminating with what has become the culinary genius of the Saucy Australian.
Travelling the width and breadth of Australia, averaging well over 100,000km a year, we have managed to introduce our large range of products to gourmet and speciality stores in every state and territory in Australia. From Melbourne to Maleny, Birdsville to Brisbane, Darwin to Darlinghurst, Perth to Port Fairy, Sydney to Sandy Bay - wherever you live, we have got you sauced.
Emelia's is one of only a handful of Sauce Manufacturers that can boast of being in virtually every town across this vast land.
The business has gone from strength to strength, having started out in the kitchen of our garage with one pot. We then moved to the larger premises of our restaurant, and in 2006 we once again outgrew our establishment. We then moved to a fully equipped food factory in country Victoria, where we now make more than 40 products.
Our new location includes an emelias store in trendy Piper St in historical Kyneton, where we offer our full range of products direct to the public.
To start with, finding our niche market was difficult. We travelled all over Australia, participating in farm field days, country markets and promotional fairs to test the viability of finding a pathway to the retail sector that we are now able to service readily.
