Danny Balboa's
Danny Balboa’s is a Melbourne hot sauce and spice rub brand built on one belief: flavour comes first. Handcrafted in Brunswick using Australian ingredients, each product is designed to elevate cooking with bold flavour rather than just heat. With over a decade of experience, Danny Balboa’s also operates as a social enterprise, creating flexible employment opportunities for people who are neurodivergent or experiencing mental health challenges. Every brain deserves a seat at the table!
ACIDE™
ACIDE™ was founded by Jon Bussell after a pivot from charcuterie to pickling during COVID. What started as small-batch production quickly grew into a bold, flavour-led range of pickles and ferments made to bring balance, acid, and excitement to everyday food. ACIDE™ focuses on quality ingredients, low-waste practices, and distinct flavour profiles—from deeply sour to sweet and umami-driven. All products are made in Melbourne and designed to elevate meals rather than simply sit on the side.
