Baking

Australian native flavours bring a unique and exciting twist to baking, incorporating ingredients like lemon myrtle, finger lime, Davidson plum, wattleseed, and macadamia nuts. Lemon myrtle adds a fresh, citrusy aroma, while finger lime provides bursts of zesty citrus pearls. Davidson plum offers a tart and tangy flavour profile, perfect for jams or fillings. Wattleseed introduces a nutty, coffee-like taste that enriches desserts, and macadamia nuts add a rich, buttery texture. These native ingredients not only enhance the taste of baked goods but also celebrate Australia's rich culinary heritage with their distinct flavours and textures.
