BAXTER'S ORIGINAL - Stand A1b
Baxter’s Original is an award-winning, gluten-free bbq and hot sauce family business based in Miramar, Wellington. The ‘Baxters Original’ bbq and hot sauce range were born in 2013 when the gluten intolerant Baxter family arrived in New Zealand from America and were unable to find a delicious gluten-free sauce in their newly adopted country. After sharing their homemade sauces with friends, an increasing number of condiment lovers spread the word and ever since the Baxters have created their original recipes of handcrafted, favour filled, gluten-free sauces for everyone to enjoy.
From ‘Sweet and Smoky’ a delicious family favourite and bestseller, through to the spicier ‘Dragons Breath’ which recently earned ‘World Champion’ status at the 2107 World Hot Sauce Awards, Baxters Original delivers that extra zest to your favourite food.
The delicious hot sauces are available in 150ml bottles. The bbq sauce range consists of four great favours available in 300ml bottles and also in bulk two and five-litre containers for the foodservice industry.
