Run and operated from Morisset right at Lake Macquarie in the Lower
Hunter Valley, just half an hour from Newcastle Australia. We are a family
business and all the sauces and chutneys are made by Marcel de Wit who is
a chef by trade and together with his wife
Connie used to have a many award winning European cuisine with Asian
influence restaurant at the Central Coast NSW Australia (Joel's at Avoca
Beach).
After half a year of travelling extensively through Asia in the 80's
(Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines) Marcel and his wife Connie got
hooked on to chillies. That is where they picked up their love for
chillies. This love for chillies is still there!
The Chilli Factory started in Joels restaurant as a hobby of Marcel
and to create an extra income by selling a few jars on the bar in the
restaurant. Customers were not only coming back for the beautiful dishes
but also to re-stock their supply of chillies!
After a lot of experimenting and try-outs at the different markets and
fairs across Australia slowly a range of beautiful gourmet sauces and
chutneys were created. After plodding along with the pots and the pans
cooking for his customers and in his spare time filling the jars, hand
package them and sell them at markets and shows Marcel & Connie decided
that after cooking for so many years (23 years of stirring the pots!) it
might be more fun and excitement to start a new business with the chillies.
And thus The Chilli Factory was born.
