About Bourbon Barrel Foods
Unique products with distinct Kentucky flavor
 

Bourbon Barrel Foods was founded in 2006 as part of Bluegrass Soy Sauce Company, Ltd. by Matt Jamie. Matt's goal is to make quality gourmet sauces and seasonings by adhering to a 3 word philosophy: slow, small, simple. We are located in Louisville, KY inside historic Butchertown Market.


"I founded Bourbon Barrel Foods because I wanted to develop a product that would reflect the rich heritage of Kentucky's bourbon country—The Napa Valley of the Bluegrass. I have personally met with the farmers that grow the ingredients for my products. From the farmer in southern Kentucky that grows the soybeans for my naturally fermented, small batch soy sauce, to the grower in Eastern Kentucky that harvests the sorghum I use as a sweetener. I have a hands-on approach that requires me to search for the best the state has to offer and develop relationships with the farmers that get great satisfaction seeing their crops grow from the seed to the shelf."
