Mamma Marilena
When you fancy something authentically Italian to enliven your jaded tastebuds, look no further than Mamma Marilena. This small Australian, family owned and operated business produces a range of gourmet delights.
A taste of the old country
The cornerstone of the Mamma Marilena range is the delicious Almond Bread, always a beloved favourite at Italian gatherings and also a hit amongst Aussies who have discovered it goes exceptionally well with a good short black, a latte or even a glass of wine. The company’s Nut Breads were awarded Best New Bakery Product at Fine Food Australia in 2009, evidence not only of the wonderful flavours but also of the quality, locally-sourced ingredients that go into every recipe.
The sweet life
For those with an even sweeter tooth, there is no going past Mamma Marilena’s Meringue Shells, Macaroons and Mini Meringues. Fill the shells to overflowing with whipped cream and fresh fruits for the easiest of desserts to impress your dinner guests. Or crush the minis or macaroons over ice cream and drizzle some Frangelico or Kahlua over the top for a wicked taste sensation.
If your tastes lean towards the savoury, you’re in luck. Mamma Marilena produces tubs of premium packaged nuts and dried fruits. The perfect snack to nibble in front of the TV or to share with friends, they are available in two pack sizes. Feast on macadamias, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios and mixed nuts. Or take it up a notch and indulge in the Deluxe Nibble Mix or one of the combos including Almond & Apricots, Pistachio & Cranberries and Almond & Sultanas.
The Eyes have it
Look and you will see that Mamma Marilena’s Almond, Hazelnut and Macadamia Eyes – delicious biscuits dotted with nut ‘pupils’ – are something special. . Enjoy with an after dinner liqueur or pack a couple for lunch or an afternoon treat at work or school.
