Our Story
The journey behind Pomodoras Fine Foods
Welcome to Pomodoras Fine Foods, where every product tells a story of family, community and a shared passion for good food and flavours.
Pomodoras story began in the picturesque Sunshine Coast hinterland, where Chris & Jodi’s passion for good food and good customer service first blossomed.
Starting with a cozy café in Maleny in August 2006, the duo quickly became accepted in the local community and was soon known for their Food appreciation dinners that celebrated the best of what the region had to offer.
In 2008 they started the process of building their own restaurant and accommodation venue just around the corner in Maleny. Around this time in 2009 they welcomed their first baby girl, making the early years of Pomodoras a whirlwind of parenting and building their dream life.
Soon after, their second daughter was born in 2011 they saw the growth of their balsamic dressing range. From the very first bottle of Chris’ famous balsamic dressing, they knew they were onto something extraordinary.
The big, bold flavors, crafted with care and a commitment to quality, resonated with locals and visitors alike. As word spread, so did the demand for their balsamic dressing range leading to the evolution of sepertaing the product from the venue and Pomodoras Fine Foods was born. Over the years, Pomodoras fine foods has grown from small batch into a thriving boutique business.
Now ranging in over 150 independant supermarkets Queensland wide.Despite this incrediable growth, Chris & Jodi continue to oversee every step of the process, from sourcing the finest ingredients to perfecting each recipe.
Today, Pomodoras Fine Foods remains a family-run buiness, offering a range of delicious, handcrafted condiments, including not only the very popular balsamic dressing but now infused salts, mustards and oils.
Pomodoras on Coral & Pomodoras on Obi properties will always hold a special place in their story – a reminder of where the dream began. Each product is a celebration of the Bonds’ passion for food and their commitment to sharing the simple joy of great flavors with others.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time customer, we invite you to explore our range and taste the difference that comes from years of dedication, creativity, and love.
Here’s to celebrating life’s flavours—Happy Cooking!
