Embarking on a road trip through the heart of Australia might initially feel like an endless journey through a barren expanse of scrub and sand. The landscape, with its rolling hills, sparse vegetation, and occasional skeletal trees, can give the impression of desolation. However, beneath the first impression, lies a vibrant ecosystem, perfectly adapted to the harsh conditions of the arid interior.

Three iconic plant species reign supreme in this rugged terrain: Allocasuarina, Eucalyptus, and Acacia. Among them, one stands out for its historical significance and culinary potential: wattleseed. Indigenous communities have harvested this wild food for millennia, and its versatility has captured the attention of distillers, chefs, and bartenders alike.

Meet Angus, our wattleseed farmer, accompanied by his trusty Jack Russell, Tilley. Together, they ethically and sustainably harvest some of the finest wattleseed in Australia. Angus is not just a farmer; he's a champion of regenerative land management, advocating for the integration of native plants to combat climate change.

We proudly support Angus and Wattle We Eat, and you should too. Incorporating wattleseed into your culinary adventures is remarkably simple. Its unique flavour profile lends itself to a variety of dishes, from marinades to syrups, infusions to foams. For a taste of its delicious earthiness and biscuity notes, try infusing it into sugar or alcohol.

And speaking of delicious drinks, why not try our wattleseed Espresso Martini? It's the perfect companion for your next cocktail night!
