About Sticky Balsamic
Sticky Balsamic crafts Australia’s most awarded balsamic varieties and the newest gastronomic sensation, Sticky Balsamic Pearls in regional Victoria. We love the location and it works really well. The local community have been so supportive, with some joining our Sticky Balsamic family to help us make it.
Australia's most awarded balsamic producer — handcrafted by a family of gourmet makers, from the Original balsamic vinegar that started it all to Sticky Balsamic Pearls, our newest innovation for which we've received incredible feedback.
In the Beginning
Making Sticky Balsamic
So, in 2013 we hired a commercial kitchen at night (where chefs are trained) and made 5 varieties (we soon added a 6th). Labelling and boxing then happened in the lounge room at night after finishing paid work. We then tried our luck at the Lorne Easter Market, and the feedback was fantastic. This gave us the push to see if any stores would be interested in Sticky Balsamic.
Thankfully our community is incredibly supportive of local businesses (we hope this is the case right around the world!) and so we started selling into shops as well as continuing with Farmers’ Markets, craft markets and other events to get the word out...
And Then...
Fast forward to a few years later, we no longer make it at night (thank goodness!). But we will ALWAYS make it ourselves 😀
We'll never outsource production — keeping full control over every batch meets our own high quality standards. That commitment has helped earn Sticky Balsamic over 120 medals and awards.
Sticky Balsamic remains a regional Victorian family business in Australia and continues to grow and innovate, having recently introduced the Pearls for which we have been provided heaps of incredible feedback. We continue to be present at both large and small events, and plan on doing this for a long time so that we can speak directly with people like you who give us the greatest information and feedback.
