A Taste of Tradition: Chilau Foods Brings Southern Flavors Home

Chilau Foods, founded by Michael Anderson, is a company built on a love of family, tradition, and of course, delicious food.

Inspired by his grandmother’s legendary crab stew, a cherished dish in Tampa families’ gatherings, Michael set out to recreate those heartwarming flavors and share them with a wider audience.

The journey didn’t stop at just replicating one recipe. As Michael explored stews from other Southern regions, he discovered a common thread – similar ingredients and flavor profiles. This became the foundation for Chilau Foods’ product line: Southern-inspired stew bases that simplify cooking without compromising on bold, authentic flavors.

Quality and Sustainability at the Core

Chilau Foods prioritizes using high-quality ingredients. Michael meticulously vets suppliers to ensure every ingredient meets their standards for quality and sustainability. They understand that consumers are increasingly health-conscious and want to know what’s in their food.

As a family-focused brand, Michael wouldn’t put anything in their products that he wouldn’t feed his own family. While local sourcing is important, Chilau Foods recognizes that some unique ingredients come from specific regions. Their focus is on building trust with suppliers and ensuring responsible sourcing practices to deliver delicious and sustainable products.

Trade shows are another key strategy. These events provide a platform to showcase products, network with industry leaders, and secure new retail partnerships. This combination of digital and in-person efforts is propelling Chilau Foods’ growth and introducing their products to a wider audience.

The Future of Chilau Foods

Michael’s current focus is on expanding their presence in the Soup Bouillon category and reaching new regions across the country. They see potential in offering their unique approach to cooking solutions in adjacent aisles, bringing convenience and bold flavors to new categories.

The long-term vision is to offer a range of products that celebrate the rich Southern seasoning traditions across multiple aisles.
