Taste of Australia: You can now find Aussie food and pantry favorites in the Philippines!

Hello everyone! I’m so glad you came to visit. You’re probably wondering what this post is all about. Just to give you a quick overview of what’s happening in my life lately. I’ve been working as a writer for an Australian news publication for several years now and most of the stories assigned to me are FOOD RELATED. 

Can you imagine my cravings when I describe fizzy cocktails or creamy chocolates? Then I’ll wonder when or how I could get a taste of them myself. I’m my number one fan! 

Well, wonder no more! We can now have a #TasteOfAustralia in the Philippines as most of their bestsellers like products from Woolworths are now available in our very own supermarkets and online stores nationwide!

This is truly exciting because Taste of Australia recently sent me a discovery box filled with carefully curated wines, dairy, plant-based options, snacks, and pantry items to try *yum yum* and also to give you guys a sneak preview of what you can find.

 

What’s in My Discovery Box?

Remedy Drinks Lemon Lime and Mint Kombucha

A sparkling live-cultured drink that’s a great alternative from sugary sodas. It’s all-natural, raw, certified organic, vegan, gluten-free, fructose-free, and paleo friendly. It has a delicious fizzy feel and refreshing citrus taste that I want to always keep a stock in my fridge!

 

Bundaberg Gingerbeer

Madw with the finest, locally Australian grown ginger and sugarcane. Simple. Sweet. Delicious.

 

Cobran Estate Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Made from cold-pressed olives and displays a superb combination of fresh grassy notes, green bananas and tomatoes, with a stunning finish exhibiting moderate bitterness, pungency, and a creamy aftertaste. This multi-purpose fruity oil is ideal for salads, pasta, veggies, and fish.

 

Jack Estate MR Series Pink Moscato and Baily and Baily Silhouette Moscato

Light, fun, and sweet sparkling wines for any occassion! Jack Estate’s MR Pink Moscato has blush pink hues with subtle peachy undertones, and bursting with aromas of strawberry and cream with hints of musk. This refreshing wine bursts with fresh cherry, tangy sherbet, and sweet red apple. YUM. 

Violet Crumble

Honeycomb filled chocolate. Totally addictive. Need I say more? (It’s Geof’s favourite!!!!)

Nuttelex Buttery

Vegans rejoice! This is the best plant-based butter you can find. Loved for many generations, Nuttelex is a perfect all-rounder for spreading, baking, and cooking with 65 per cent less fat and 50 per cent less salt with no cholesterol and zero additives.

Paul’s Sandwich Slices and Salted Butter

If you do not have any special diet preferences, Paul’s is a trusted dairy brand that delivers fresh quality dairy products worldwide.

 

Plantitude Mac and Cheese Original

Wollworths have swapped out the dairy for nutritional yeast and coconut milk powder. With the same grate taste, this vegan mac and cheeze 

 

Woomera White Moscato and Sweet Red

A no-frills sweet white rich with peach and tropical fruit characters.
