Our Story
The idea for the Tudor Paste Co. resulted from a very good friend visting on a Friday night monthly for drinks and nibbles, and after purchasing every fruit paste available on the market, we felt there was a gap for something unique.
The Tudor Paste Co. (named by a good friend in London) was officially formed in 2020 by Tracey Elliot after returning home from London and spending many hours in COVID lockdown wondering how to put her culinary experience to good use.
Having previously worked on some recipes during her recipe development course at Leiths School of Food and Wine, London she dusted them off, and fast forward three (3) years The Tudor Paste Co range was created.
I’m using the principles from the Tudor times, but bringing it forward into the 21st century!”
