Australian Food Brands Our Stockists Love
Customers increasingly turn the pack over to check where it was made. Australian-made food brands give independent retailers a clear story to tell, a point of difference from the supermarket and, for gifting, a product that travels well as a taste of home. Here is our list of the Australian food brands our stockists come back to, and why they sell.
Valley Produce Company
Our own brand, and the most widely ranged in our portfolio. Valley Produce Company covers shortbread, artisan crackers, chocolate-coated treats and seasonal gifting, with illustrated tins and tubes designed for the gift shop counter. The Aussie Birds shortbread tins and Kangaroo Poo are reliable souvenir sellers, while the native artisan crackers bring wattleseed, saltbush and Kakadu plum to the cheese board.
Jen's Biscuits
Jen's makes the biscuits people remember from their childhood: Anzacs, jam drops, melting moments and ginger nuts. It is a strong everyday line for delis, cafés and grocers, with steady repeat purchase.
Daylesford Condiment Company
Chutneys and relishes from regional Victoria. The Daylesford Condiment Company range, including the Woodcutters Chilli Chutney, is a natural partner for local cheese and a staple in hampers.
Peachy Sweet by VPC
A newer range of mayonnaise and sauces. Peachy Sweet gives fridge-free pantry shelves a premium condiment option.
Kangaroo Island producers
Kangaroo Island in South Australia has a strong reputation for clean, quality produce. Kangaroo Island Olives supplies table olives and extra virgin olive oil, and Kangaroo Island Fresh Garlic adds a premium garlic range.
Nutworks
Queensland macadamias and nuts, roasted and flavoured. Nutworks is a strong snacking and gifting line with clear Australian provenance.
Sovereign Hill
Old-fashioned boiled lollies with a Ballarat heritage story. Sovereign Hill confectionery suits gift shops, tourist retail and nostalgic counter displays.
Zeally Bay Sourdough and Noosa Black Garlic
Two smaller producers with loyal followings. Zeally Bay Sourdough comes from Victoria's Surf Coast, and Noosa Black Garlic offers a distinctive, sweet-savoury ingredient that food-literate customers seek out.
