About The Company

The history of Otter Vale is proudly Devonian and family-based, and this is clearly reflected in our people, our products and the character of our company.

Before making the preserves and condiments we are known for today, our story started with some altogether different products, and was intertwined with two famous Budleigh businesses. Our company still employs local people to produce quality, hand-made, award-winning condiments. Over fifty years since Seymour Laxon joined the venture, Otter Vale is a truly family led business. 2018 also brought us to the Food Drink Devon Awards, where Otter Vale were named Best Brand 2018-2019, runners up in the Best Producer award, and our Redcurrant Jelly came away with a Food Drink Devon Gold award.Having celebrate 40 perfectly preserved years of our original and much-loved Devon Chutney in 2019, we continue to develop and launch new and exciting products
