Sharwood's Mango Chutney with Chilli

Sharwood's is a historic British brand that has been at the forefront of introducing Asian-inspired flavours to the UK market since its inception in 1889. The brand was founded by James Allen Sharwood, who travelled extensively through India and Asia to source unique spices and ingredients to sell in Britain. Its Mango Chutney remains one of its most iconic products, bridging culinary traditions between the East and the West.

Over the decades, Sharwood's transitioned from a private enterprise to being part of large food conglomerates. It was acquired by RHM (Rank Hovis McDougall) and eventually became a core part of the Premier Foods portfolio in 2007. The products are primarily manufactured in the United Kingdom, specifically at production facilities in Worksop, ensuring the brand maintains its British heritage while sourcing key global ingredients.

As of 2024 and beyond, Sharwood's continues to be owned by Premier Foods plc, a major British food manufacturer. The brand remains a staple in British households, offering a wide range of sauces, naan breads, and accompaniments that cater to the popular demand for Indian, Chinese, and Thai cuisines.
