- Frogmore Bottling Company makes clean-label, refrigerated and frozen sauces, dressings, dips and marinades in Beaufort, South Carolina.
- Because these products don’t need to last at room temperature, recipes can skip unnecessary preservatives and stabilizers.
- Chief Chef / Scientist Will Collins leads recipe development, tasting, clean formulation and pilot batches.
- Every product runs under an SQF-certified food safety program, and its shelf life is validated before it ships.
- To start, book a tasting session with Will through the discovery form.
When shelf stability isn’t a requirement, culinary creativity takes center stage.
At Frogmore Bottling Company, we believe the best products begin with exceptional taste, not a list of preservatives or processing compromises.
Our culinary-driven manufacturing approach allows food brands, restaurant groups, and emerging concepts to develop sauces, dressings, dips, marinades, and other specialty products with a focus on bold flavor, clean labels, and ingredient integrity.
It’s the same philosophy that inspired the creation of Seaside Grown: start with great food, use quality ingredients, and build a product people genuinely love.
By developing products that don’t require ambient shelf stability, we can explore formulations that prioritize the original culinary vision while meeting appropriate food safety and shelf-life requirements.

Will leads every culinary-first project at Frogmore. With more than 23 years in food and beverage, including six in food manufacturing and co-packing, he pairs a chef's palate with the discipline of food science.
Clean, flavor-forward formulation is his passion, and he leads research and development for Seaside Grown.
