About Vermont Curry
Vermont Curry is a curry roux House Foods launched in 1963 on the idea that children should like curry too, a milder approach that the company says overturned the common wisdom about curry in Japan. It is one of House's three main home curry brands with Java Curry and Kokumaro Curry, and a Chinese version was launched in 2005 with the aim of making curry and rice a national dish in China.
