We make it ourselves! For each small batch of sauce, we use the cuttings from our hand trimmed carrots, onions, broccoli, garlic, mushrooms, and parsley and simmer them in filtered spring water. 

Sure, it would have been easier to do like all the other companies and just add water or use a packaged vegetable stock, but then we wouldn't be holding true to our own values and mission.

We make it the way we would want to eat it!
