Rubies in the Rubble - Expert Impact

Jenny Costa,

Rubies in the Rubble

Met with Julian Metcalfe

The tastiest chutneys, made in the nicest possible way.

We believe the more you put in, the more you get out. We make everything by hand, we’re generous with ingredients, and we are committed to our community. We source all our fruit and vegetables from surplus, fresh from the market before they’re discarded, and we use it all.

Our ingredients have to pass a taste test, not a beauty contest. Whether it’s under-sized, in over abundance, or just plain pear-shaped, it’s in. What matters to us is making what we think is the best chutney around.

The more you put in, the more you get out.

Julian was wonderfully honest and had an amazing empathy and understanding for our position. He was a great listener with ideas that felt balanced and achievable for us. We really valued his time.
