Rebecca Williamson started Holmsted Fines in 2013. While training at Le Cordon Bleu in London she discovered that one of the more versatile items in a traditional English kitchen is chutney. Specifically, green tomato chutney provided a delicious addition to fish and poultry and served as a wonderful topping on cheeses and baked goods. After bringing her green tomato chutney recipe home to the U.S., Rebecca found that Americans also love the delicious combination of flavors that chutney provides. She has further expanded the wide pairing range of the original product by adding peach, balsamic red onion, and apple jalapeno varieties. So, for those that are always looking to be on the cutting edge of flavor exploration, or simply those who want an easy way to improve an old dish, Holmsted Fines chutneys are for you!
