With somewhat of a cult following, this Pear & Pink Pepper Paste is perfectly paired with strong flavoured cheeses like blue or washed rind. Pink pepper provides a smokey spice rather than heat, offsetting the sweetness provided by Stanthorpe grown pears.

Ugly Duck Fine Foods believe that food should not be wasted and we therefore source fresh ingredients farm direct, gathering up their imperfect and surplus produce. They believe that the taste and freshness of their ingredients are the only qualities that matter, odd shapes and sizes don’t. 

Most retailers reject any fruit or vegetable that are non-standard size, shape or colour. Large commercial growers and small organic farmers alike often face a huge problem selling their not-to-standard fruit and vegetables. Due to the short shelf life of fresh produce, a lot of fresh food ends up in landfill.

In order to prevent this unnecessary wastage, Ugly Duck comes to the rescue
