Charmaine Solomon

Distributors Wanted for Charmaine Solomon Curry Pastes & Marinades

The iconic Charmaine Solomon foods brand is seeking experienced food distributors in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales to represent its premium Australian-made range of Asian curry pastes, marinades and spice blends to retail customers.

Few names in Australian food carry the culinary heritage of Charmaine Solomon. Known as the “Queen of Asian cooking in Australia”. The award-winning cookery writer has introduced generations of Australians to Asian cuisine through more than 30 cookbooks, including The Complete Asian Cookbook, which has sold millions of copies worldwide.

Today, her recipes are the inspiration behind a boutique range crafted in small batches in Sydney and packaged in premium 250g glass retail jars. With Indian, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, Singaporean and North African flavours, the range gives distributors a broad portfolio to present to supermarkets, independent grocers, gourmet food stores, delicatessens, international grocers and specialty food retailers.

Charmaine Solomon is now looking to expand retail distribution and welcomes enquiries from established distributors with the relationships and market knowledge to grow the brand across Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales.
