Grandma Sandino's

Address
Salt Lake City, Utah
United States

We hand make and sell our Grandma Sandino’s Sicilian Sauce ”Garlic Sauce” and four Herbal Seasoning blends; Herbal Dip and Spread, Garlic Butter Mix, Fish Sprinkle and Grandma’s Rub. 

We have been making the Sauce for over thirty years. We made it every year the day after Thanksgiving. We called it Garlic Friday. We handed it out as Christmas gifts to family, friends, neighbors and clients. 

The recipients of our gifts would stop by our house and beg for more. They would offer to shovel our walks or mow our lawn. They wanted to buy more from us so they didn’t have to wait until next December. We only made enough each year to supply our own needs and we didn’t have certifications and permits to “sell” it to the public.

In December of 2010, It got ridiculous. Dave and I decided to see what it would take to be able to sell it on the Market. In January of 2011 we started Grandma Sandino’s. We went through the process and sold our first Bottle in June at our first Farmer’s Market. We have evolved a lot since then and Grandma Sandino’s is our fulltime business.

We are passionate about high-quality ingredients. We are very picky about what goes into our products. We use only the finest quality ingredients available. We believe in clean nutritious food. We have probably the cleanest label in the Market place. Because we start with “REAL” food we don’t have to add junk to make it taste good.

Our products are 100% natural. NO gluten, dairy, soy, sodium, MSG, nuts, corn or eggs. It’s Vegan and certified non-GMO. Our Garlic Sauce is for: pasta, salads,  brad dipping, marinade for meats and vegetables or to sauté shrimp and stir fry. It literally “Goes On Everything.”  Because of the way it’s made and the ingredients we use, our products are not cheap but they are very frugal. As our customers will attest: “ A little goes a long way.”

We were introduced to Grandma Sandinos Sauce by a family member. It is SO GOOD! I just recieved a Addicted Bottle this morning for the holidays. Packaging was perfect! The card from the owner was sweet! I recommend this sauce to anyone who loves flavor! Plus side is they're a small business so go support them!
The best of the best. Super addicting we have tried almost everything and we can’t get enough. Never enough garlic for us ????
It makes many all my meals so much better!\n\nStopped by their stand at the farmers market today to check how long it’s good for after opening. I bought some last year and turns out is also has a great shelf life!
Grandma Sandino’s Sicilian Sauce (a.k.a. Grandma Sandino's Garlic Sauce) is very possibly the best savory sauce I have ever tasted - no kitchen should be without this amazing product. It is the most versatile sauce I've ever experienced because it works well as a marinade, salad dressing, dipping sauce, and works well with a variety of savory and sweet items.\n\nIt is great for using as a marinade with chicken, beef, pork, and even fish and seafood. It works well as a dipping sauce with bread, vegetables (e.g., cucumbers and tomatoes), and fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, peaches.) It even works well just drizzling it over any salad or as a finish to a grilled, baked, or roasted steak, chicken, or fish. It is truly amazing how well the savory flavor of Grandma Sandino's Sicilian Sauce blends well with a wide variety of flavor profiles from savory to sweet.\n\nAlso, in conversation with the owner of this business, I learned a great deal of care was put into careful, diligent, thoughtful research to ensure only the finest ingredients are used to make this quality sauce. No artificial or substitute oils are used in the production of this sauce. Only 100% pure olive oil is used from well-sourced vendors, and quality ingredients is something I greatly value in all my culinary products.\n\nTheir marketing materials also advertise that their products are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and kosher, so their products are compatible with the widest possible audience of your baking, grilling, roasting, and marinating specialties that you make in your own kitchen or on your own grill.\n\nIn addition to the Sicilian Sauce, Grandma Sandino's has also developed several rubs, sprinkles, and mixes that also enhance the flavor of culinary creations coming out of your kitchen. The creativity and variety of Grandma Sandino's products is impressive and includes something for everyone with care put into the production of every batch of every product.\n\nThe proprietors of Grandma Sandino's are present at most Farmer's Markets around the Salt Lake City area. I usually seem them at the Wheeler Farm Farmer's Market on Sunday mornings at the historic Wheeler Farm in Murray. They are very friendly and happy to share the details of their products with any potential customers who swing by their booth.\n\nGrandma Sandino's even adds a bit of humor in their marketing as displayed on the labels of Sicilian Sauce where it clearly states as a warning to consumers, "Eaten alone may cause severe relationship issues. Do not exceed recommended dosage (1 ounce per immediate Sicilian ancestor per day or 1/2 ounce per the total times you've watched 'The Godfather.')," and the warning later continues, "Side effects: lame may walk, blind may see, occasional ascension to sainthood. Consult your healthcare professional if are Miraculously Healed from some strange ailment."\n\nThere is more, but I don't want to spoil your visit to Grandma Sandino's booth at a local Farmer's Market. You need to visit them yourself, taste their samples, and ask all your own questions. Grandma Sandino's is friendly, welcoming, and most importantly, uses all natural, pure, quality ingredients. The ingredients on every label of Grandma Sandino's Garlic Sauce contains no eight syllable words of chemical compounds I have never heard of before and cannot pronounce. I can understand every single ingredient on the label, and the savory taste of the sauce simply speaks for itself.\n\nIf you are not fortunate to live in the Salt Lake City area or you are unable to attend a local Farmer's Market when they are open and available, Grandma Sandino's also has a website and offers shipping of their products as an alternative.
I stumbled upon this sauce in Genoa Nevada at the candy dance 6 years ago. I haven't been without it since. If you like garlic, Hell if you like flavor, this is the sauce for you. Honestly if you don't like this stuff your tastebuds must be dead
We first found Grandma Sandinos at the Salt Lake City Farmers Market and quickly fell in love with their sauce. The depth of flavor is amazing. It's our favorite thing to marinate chicken and make pasta salad with. so very delicious! Anytime we see them we would get some more and rave about them to anyone we were with.(We have since converted my Parents, my brother,2 sisters and several friends!) We recently moved to Idaho and ordered more sauce. They package came today and it was definitely prepared with love. ❤️ Carefully wrapped and it even came with a handwritten note! I absolutely loved it! You have a customer for life!
This sauce is incredible. You can use it for dipping, marinade, dressing.... the possibilities are endless. With every order you get a recipe and serving suggestion book. It comes in a few different sizes but you're going to want to order the big one. You can pick up your order locally within 24 hrs (I know when I ran out, I could not wait shipping time frames to get more).
I couldn’t not do review! I always went by you guys just tasting saying I need a bottle never do. One day I got a bottle and I’ll be damned I’m hooked! The vegetarian garlic oil goes in everything! I think I may give it a go in ice cream! ???????? it may make it all better!\n\nEdit: I tried the garlic butter mix on corn and lord help me I’m in heaven!
Dave recently helped me with the orders that I messed up And I'm happy to say that their customer service is as good as their product Awesome I highly recommend Order in yours today
I love this sauce so much! I’ve been getting it for over 5 years now, go through 2 big bottles every few months! I use it on every vegetable I cook and can’t go without it. Recently the post office broke both bottles during shipping…Dave was amazing and shipped 2 more out right away. I was out and had to go through withdrawals for 2 days, but I lived lol
