Are your products vegan?
All our bottled products are suitable for a vegan diet, as we do not use any ingredients derived from animals in any of these products. Christmas puddings are not suitable for a vegan diet, as they contain egg whites.

Questions and answers
Are your products low in sodium?
Apart from the Special BBQ Sauce, all our other products are classified as low in sodium and are suitable for anyone following a low sodium diet. We do not even have salt in our kitchen. The Special BBQ Sauce has soy sauce as one of the ingredients, which increases the sodium content beyond what is considered to be a low sodium product.
How long do products keep once opened?
For maximum flavour and freshness, we recommend that you consume the products within 2–3 weeks after opening. However, some products — especially the dressings — are fine in a fridge for up to 6 weeks.
What is the shelf life?
You will find a best before stamp on each jar, but most of our products have a shelf life of approximately 18 to 20 months from the date of production when unopened.
Where can I buy them?
You can buy through this website. To find a stockist in your area, use the stockists page, where you can search by postcode. For wholesale, food service or becoming a stockist yourself, see work with us.
How long have you been going?
Maleny Cuisine was founded in the town of Maleny in 1988. Production moved down to the coast at Marcoola for logistical reasons about 15 years ago, but as it was a well-established brand here in Queensland the name Maleny Cuisine was kept. We still use the same great recipes and are still very proud to be a local Sunshine Coast company.
