BackThe Aussie Pantry Tastes of Australia

​The vast Australian landscape is wild, raw and spectacular.  Earthy tones, organic textures and distinct native scents infuse her terrain, unearthed as a rich bounty of intense bush flavours - the seeds, nuts, leaves and berries gathered from her indigenous flora by Aboriginal tribes over tens of thousands of years.

 

Life a culinary adventure spanning the Australian landscape, the incredible powers of these bold, natural flavours have been harnessed for the modern menu by a well known gourmet foodie and Australian Bush Spices founder.

 

Introduced to the powerful flavours of the Australian bush in the late 1990s, the former restauranteur instantly succumbed to the aromatic spell of these ancient delights.

 

Seven years of culinary experimentation would follow, broadened by a move to the northern NSW region of Byron Bay, renowned for its abundant, lush, organic produce and dynamic food scene.

 

Intent of capturing the essence of a dramatic Australian landscape with the 'fruits' of our native flora, a 'feast for the senses' was born in Australian Bush Spices, showcasing these distinct natural flavours across a premium range of cross-cultural food fusions for global palates to enjoy.

Indigenous growers and pickers supply large portions of the ingredients used in their products. These are all remote and regional businesses and Australian BushSpices are delighted to support their efforts. While the company tries to source locally, the ingredients are also sourced . eithically. Ingredients such as lemon myrtle, macadamias, bunya nuts, aromatic strawberry gum and finger limes are sourced locally; bush tomatoes are from central Australia and wattleseed, and quandong from South Australia, and pepperberries hand picked and harvested in Tasmania. Australian Bush Spices certainly lives up to its name!

Lemon Myrtle is without doubt the most popular of Australia’s native herbs, with its distinct citrus flavour and fresh fragrance of lime and lemongrass. It complements many foods, from chicken and meats, fish, seafood and pasta, to desserts like ice cream, sorbet and cheesecakes.
