Our Story
A family kitchen, in every bottle.
Mallards Sauces Co. is a family-owned sauce company based in Homer City, Pennsylvania. Founded by Louis and Rachel Caruso, Mallards was built from a love of family, cooking, the outdoors, and recipes passed down through generations.
The mallard in the company name and logo is a tribute to the Caruso family's love of the outdoors and Italian heritage. Louis' grandfather was a gardener and cook, and family recipes were passed down over the years. Mallard decorations were always around the family home, making the bird a meaningful part of the brand's identity.
Today, Mallards Sauces Co. carries that same family inspiration into every bottle. Each sauce is crafted with bold flavor, fresh ingredients, and the kind of care that only comes from a family-run kitchen.
Inspired by Family
Every recipe starts at the kitchen table. Our sauces are built on flavors passed down through generations of Italian cooks who believed dinner was something worth gathering around.
Built on Family Recipes
Every Mallards Sauce starts with a family recipe and fresh ingredients — peppers, garlic, citrus, and honey treated with the care they deserve so the flavor comes through in every bottle.
Made for Everyday Food
Pizza nights, breakfast sandwiches, taco Tuesdays, grilling out — Mallards is designed to live on your counter, not in the back of the cabinet.
Rooted in Western Pennsylvania
Homer City is home. We're proud to make a craft food product right here, and prouder still when it shows up on the tables and shelves of our neighbors.
