OUR STORY
SIX MARINADES. ONE STUBBORN CHEF. NO SHORTCUTS.
Sous Chef started in his home kitchen, where Chef Antonio kept refining the same marinades and dressings until six of them earned a permanent place on the shelf. Here is how the pantry came together.

- Made in Beirut
- No preservatives
- Real ingredients
- Small batches
01 · The beginning
Built around the recipes Antonio couldn't stop refining.
It started with friends asking for the bottle, not the recipe. Chef Antonio kept making the same marinades and dressings the way he wanted them. Slow-cooked, clean, no preservatives, no shortcuts. Six of them earned a permanent spot. Now they're the pantry we wish every home cook had.
Meet the chef
Chef Antonio
Co-Founder & Culinary Lead
Culinary school taught him the technique. Cooking for friends taught him which rules to keep. Antonio builds every Sous Chef bottle the long way and tastes his way through each batch before it ships. If it wouldn't go on his own table, it doesn't go in a bottle.
02 · How we make it
Small batches. Clean labels. Made in Lebanon.
Every bottle starts with whole, recognizable ingredients you could pull off your own shelf. No preservatives. No artificial colours or flavours. We cook in small batches, label by hand, and ship from a kitchen we know by name.

WHERE THE NEXT FLAVOR IS BORN.
