About Us
RARE BEAR PESTO & PASTA SAUCES
The Rare Bear range of gluten free, GMO free, vegan-friendly pestos and pasta sauces has been developed to serve increased consumer demand in Australia for high quality, full-flavour, health-conscious options for everyday pantry staples, while also catering to some common dietary requirements…with delicious results! Exclusively distributed by The Gourmet Shelf, stocked at all good gourmet grocers.
BUILT FROM YEARS OF LISTENING TO CUSTOMERS
Did you know that food allergies or intolerances occur in around 1 in 20children and 2 in 100adults in Australia today? Or that the number of hospital admissions for severe allergic reactions to food (including anaphylaxis) have doubled over the last decade in Australia, USA and the UK?
COOKED UP DURING LOCKDOWN
Recipes for the 6 pasta sauces and 6 pestos in the Rare Bear range were cooked up by The gourmet shelf in collaboration with a trained chef, during Brisbane’s COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. From the Tomato, Mushroom and Truffle-Infused Olive Oil pasta sauce to the Rocket & Pistachio pesto, there’s a flavour in the family-friendly Rare Bear range to suit every taste bud. With all 12 recipes given the nod of approval by both a mum and a chef, kitchen table satisfaction is guaranteed.
