About us
St Andrews Limes is an iconic brand, a family business that has operated out of its' commercial kitchen in Havelock North, within Hawkes Bay, the fruit bowl of New Zealand for the last eighteen years. Matt and Tracy Day have taken their romance with this sassy, zesty fruit to a whole new level. Having recently moved home after residing in the Middle East for the last 8 years they are delighted to be working with a quality product, sourced locally and from surrounding regions. You can find our stall at the Hawkes Bay Farmers Market every Sunday or stop by our store in St Andrews Road to purchase our products and give us valuable feedback.
Testimonials
Meet my new best friend. I love hot Indian lime pickles and chutneys but they can be very polarising. I would normally eat them only with a good curry. But this Lime pickle from St Andrews Limes is a bit of a hybrid, sweet, warm/hot and aromatic. This is one of the best pickles I’ve tasted. I just had it with some aged cheddar on crackers. While you’re in lockdown and you want to treat yourself? Give this a go. I picked it up from work on my weekly shop, so I know Orewa New World stock it. You might be stuck in the house... but your tastebuds don’t have to be.

Thank you for your awesome offer, your dressing is simply delicious, Ive tried others when I've run out and it simply doesn't cut the mustard. I've bought 4 litres and just because it's rude not to, got some of the lemon curd which I guarantee won't last long! Thanks for all the good work you're doing.

We opened the lime mustard as well as saffron dressings tonight and they are amazing! I made a roasted brussel sprout salad with roasted pumpkin seed, maple streaky bacon strips and a bit of Parmesan. Totally delicious with either dressings! We will definitely be buying from you again. Fantastic flavours that sing in your mouth.

You have got to try this!! Chilli Undressed has become my favourite dipping sauce, resembles no other and tastes home-made. Uplifting anything savoury, it will get your tastebuds chirping in delight. Sharp, punchy, zesty and crazy addictive. Do try it with crumbed fish or seafood. Do it.

Our Food Production Manager
John is naturally at home in the kitchen, as he is with all things food and wine related. John is in charge of the quality of St Andrews Limes' products. He is a devoted epicurean who has been involved with winemaking most of his life - flavour means everything to him. When not in the kitchen John can be found looking for a river to fish in, trying to find a trail for his bike or with his head down on the yoga mat in his favourite pose.
Lime and Mustard Seed Dressing is his favourite St Andrews Limes product as it is versatile enough to be used to conveniently dress any green salad.
