We are keen to promote local produce and are proud to be part of the Mornington Peninsula wine and culinary region of Australia.

Our products which are a range of Chutneys, Relishes, Sauces, Pickles, Preserves, Spices, Jams and Marmalades are recipes that have been gathered over the last 30 years travelling and working as a chef in various parts of the world. Our products vary with the seasons and we select the best produce when it is at its prime. We have a loyal customer base that are one of our best assets as they love to promote and share our products with their family and friends.

We trade at Shows, Craft and Farmers markets all over Australia. We also have our products placed in outlets mainly on the Mornington Peninsula as well some in the city and a few in different pockets of Victoria. We have a web presence nationally due to visitors from interstate and our customers that we meet at the shows we visit.
