About Ferns
Over 70 years ago, an enterprising Mrs. N. Fernandes started making curry pastes and pickles in the sleepy town of Pune, high up in the Western Ghats, 100 miles east of Old Bombay, India.
Her authentic produce quickly found favour with the British soldiers garrisoned locally, who wanted delicious, authentic curries without having to grind their own spices or preserve their own pickles. She successfully pioneered the concept of wet condiment curry pastes in an exciting range of different recipes and flavours and forever captured the imagination of the DIY Cook.
Though much has changed with the passage of time, Mrs. N. Fernandes' pastes and pickles are still made by her family in Pune, yet with nothing more added than the best local spices and produce.
