Here’s what awaits your gourmet Dad in this Hunter Valley masterpiece:
Gourmet Pantry Essentials:
• Hunter Valley Food’s Spiced Pear Paste: Perfect for Dad’s cheese boards, this fruit paste pairs beautifully with fruit, cheese, and salumi, adding an elegant touch to any grazing platter.
• Duck Creek Macadamia’s Roasted & Sea Salted Macadamia Nuts: Simply the best snackables! These naturally sun-ripened, roasted, and sea-salted macadamias are a moreish yet guilt-free treat, perfect for sharing, picnics, or savouring with a crisp white wine.
• Bacco’s Bakeries Sea Salt Flatbread Petals: From an artisan Italian specialty maker, these crispbreads with sea salt are wonderfully crumbly, ideal with dips, cheese, or a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil.
• Cuvee Amphora Chocolate: A truly unique artisan chocolate, made with one of the world’s rarest cocoa beans. Its “rich, diverse, unique” flavour profile is specifically designed to complement fine wines.
• Boutique Sauce’s Diane Sauce with Buttery Leek: A fast-favourite, this “heavenly” rich, robust, creamy sauce with sautéed buttery leeks, chunky garlic, and a velvety Worcestershire reduction will take Dad’s steak, roast chicken, meatballs, or even mushrooms and pasta to “restaurant level”.
Myanbah Farm Delights (Hunter Valley Made):
• Apricot & Quince Jam with Cinnamon and Vanilla: “The best jam I have ever tasted,” says one customer. This smooth and balanced jam, with hints of cinnamon and vanilla bean, is perfect on thick-cut sourdough, fruit tarts, or even melting moment biscuits.
• Plum & Treacle Glaze: A harmonious blend of sweet plum, smoky chipotle, and rich treacle, this glaze is perfect for transforming meats and veggies into culinary masterpieces, offering a symphony of sweet and smoky perfection.
• Caramelised Balsamic – Fig and Honey Vinegar: This “sticky Balsamic Vinegar made by Myanbah Farm in the Hunter Valley” is divine. Enriched with sweet figs and pure honey, it’s perfect for summer salads, cheeses, hams, or drizzled over feta and ripe tomatoes for a caprese-style salad. One customer raved, “This is soooo delicious I could almost drink it from the bottle”.
• Sweet Mustard Pickle: Our traditional pickle adds a tangy kick to sandwiches, especially roast beef, and is excellent as a garnish for canapés or mixed with sour cream for a dip.
• Peri Peri & Preserved Lemon Mayo: A bold and fiery mayo expertly balanced with zesty, citrusy preserved lemon. Dad can use it on flame-grilled chicken, barbecue seafood, or to add a fresh, spicy touch to a Greek mezze plate.
• Toasted Sesame, Soy & Ginger Dressing: “Big on flavour,” this dressing with nutty sesame and fresh ginger is ideal for warm chargrilled meats, tossed Asian greens, crispy noodles, or toasted nuts. It’s so good, “Everyone who tries this at my house falls in love with it. Just divine”.
• Caramelised Balsamic with Pear & Vanilla: A rich, thick, and sticky balsamic vinegar that’s a perfect dressing for crispy duck and char-grilled asparagus salad, a marinade for pork or chicken, or a unique drizzle over fresh berries and shaved chocolate.
• Caramelised Garlic & Kaffir Lime Aioli: A creamy and tasty aioli with a perfect punch of garlic and a twist of kaffir lime. Amazing on grilled seafood like Atlantic salmon, smoked trout salad, prawn cutlets, or salt and pepper squid.

• Chunky Barbeque Sauce: This richly flavoured smoky barbecue sauce is the “perfect gourmet accompaniment to any savoury dish,” from burgers and chips to steak sandwiches.
