I was furious when Woolworths took it off the shelf. Itās Aussie owned with Aussie produce. My Mum went to school with the Major (the M in Mon sauce) kids at the Cohuna State School. The MON name comes from the original guys who owned the company, Major and OāNeal (? spelling). Apart from that family connection we have rarely bought another brand.
That said, itās the best tomato sauce in the world although I still canāt work out why they changed the shape of the bottle a couple of times. For those wondering, Cohuna is a small Murray River town on the Victorian side of the border with NSW.

Iāve noticed that all the name labels are vanishing from Coles. My guess is that they are trying to keep with Aldi.
In the mean time Iām drowning in chill sauces. bought a bit too much, like a kg too much as I made half of 2 recipes and theyāve been frozen. Have never defrosted a chilli successfully. Any hitsā¦
Made 3 sauces, pickled, salted and fermentedā¦
As much as I donāt trust Coles with fresh produce at $10 per kg i cavedā¦
Lately Iāve been reading the history behind some Australian companies . Iām really glad you shared that with us . I used to go up to Kerang a fare bit in my younger days and would pass through Cohuna on my way to the Murray . /
It is a great sauce and letās hope Woolworths keep it on their shelves now . . Being in a glass bottle is good too . Some things should never change but they do unfortunately .
