Sticky Balsamic Pearls are not just a garnish—they’re a gourmet experience that brings molecular gastronomy into your kitchen. Each delicate 7mm pearl is made using reverse spherification, a technique that captures the bold essence of premium balsamic in a poppable, jewel-like sphere. When you spoon pearls onto a dish, you add both a visual wow-factor and an explosion of flavour that elevates even the simplest meal.
Why Sticky Balsamic Pearls Belong in Your Kitchen
Sticky Balsamic Pearls are Australia’s most awarded for a reason. They’re vegan, non-alcoholic, shelf-stable, and crafted in regional Victoria with a focus on quality and innovation. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, creating a showstopping cheese board, or just adding a little fun to breakfast, these pearls make it easy to impress. Their unique texture and concentrated taste mean a little goes a long way—each jar is a ticket to creative, restaurant-style plating at home.
Meet the Flavours
Original Pearls
The classic that started it all. Original Pearls are rich, balanced, and endlessly versatile. Their deep, slightly sweet tang complements everything from roasted veggies and leafy salads to grilled steak and seafood. For entertaining, add a spoonful to cheese boards or canapés for a gourmet touch that always gets compliments. Try them on avocado toast or even as a finishing note on vanilla ice cream for a sweet-savoury surprise.
Lemon Pearls
Bright, zesty, and refreshing, Lemon Pearls are the ultimate way to add a citrus pop to your dishes. They’re a game-changer for oysters, fresh prawns, grilled fish, or even a classic asparagus salad. Their vibrant flavour also shines on desserts—think pavlova, lemon tart, or a summer fruit salad. For a fun twist, add Lemon Pearls to sparkling water or cocktails for a burst of flavour and visual sparkle.
Premium Fig Pearls
Lush, jammy, and with a subtle earthiness, Premium Fig Pearls are a dream with blue cheese, prosciutto, and roasted root veggies. Add them to a charcuterie platter, or sprinkle over roasted pumpkin and feta salad for a touch of luxury. They also pair beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, cheesecakes, or even on top of pancakes for a decadent brunch.
Premium Pomegranate Pearls
Tart, bold, and a little exotic, Premium Pomegranate Pearls bring Middle Eastern flair to lamb, couscous, or grain salads. Their jewel-like appearance makes them a stunning topping for cocktails, canapés, or even a simple bowl of hummus. Try them on grilled eggplant, tabbouleh, or as a colourful accent to fruit platters and desserts.
Premium Quince Pearls
Aromatic, subtly floral, and gently sweet, Premium Quince Pearls are perfect with hard cheeses, roast pork, or as a finishing touch on fruit-based desserts and breakfast bowls. Their delicate flavour works wonders on porridge, pancakes, or even stirred into Greek yoghurt with fresh berries. For an elegant appetiser, top crostini with goat cheese and a few Premium Quince Pearls.
Premium Truffle Pearls
Decadent, earthy, and oh-so-luxe, Premium Truffle Pearls turn everyday dishes into gourmet experiences. Add them to risotto, scrambled eggs, or creamy mushroom pasta for instant sophistication. They’re also incredible on crostini, roasted potatoes, or even simple buttered toast. For the ultimate indulgence, try Premium Truffle Pearls with soft-boiled eggs or as a finishing touch on steak.
