Dan & Monstro is an innovative, exciting new Irish food brand producing award winning sauces that have a high vegetable and nutrient content!
Launched in 2014 after founder Mari discovered a gap in the market for a nutritious, delicious vegetable packed convenient and easy to use sauce. Inspired by her young son Ben, who at the age of three, decided he wasn’t eating any more vegetables. Like any concerned parent, Mari worried that her young sons nutrition as he wasn’t getting his five a day . “I just refused to buy the shop bought jarred sauces as they had high sugar and salt content plus they were laden with preservatives, msg and other unnatural ingredients something I just didn’t want to feed my family especially Ben being such a picky eater , so I started making my own” Mari says. As pasta sauce was a sauce Ben really liked, Mari decided to blend lots of fresh vegetables through her homemade pasta sauce recipe!
Mari started blending lots of fresh vegetables like onions, garlic, red
peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, fresh basil all through her own
pasta sauce recipe!
She doesn’t add salt, preservatives, or hidden nasties! Mari set off
to have her pasta sauce nutritionally tested and was delighted
when the results came back!
Dan and Monstro are two actual hand puppets that Ben named
and adored as a baby. As Ben was the inspiration behind his mums
business, Mari wanted her brand to be named after these cherished
puppets belonging to Ben.
