FIRESIDE GRAZING

A handful of thoughtfully chosen ingredients, a glass of something local, and a place to settle in. It might be shared with someone close, or enjoyed in your own company, but either way, it’s unhurried and comforting - the kind of moment that doesn’t need much, just the right elements brought together.

Discover our favourite fireside snacks - a collection of local flavours, cured meats and olives. Chosen to bring warmth, comfort and a little indulgence to the season.

CHARCUTERIE: The Salami Man
Handcrafted in country NSW, The Salami Man brings a rich, authentic flavour to any fireside spread. Produced in the small town of Cullen Bullen, each salami is made using premium, free-range meat, carefully air-dried to achieve the perfect balance of texture and depth.

With bold, distinctly Australian flavours - think local beef, fresh garlic, spring onions and a hint of chilli - every slice is a reflection of traditional methods and quality ingredients. Alongside their signature salamis, the range includes cured, smoked and cooked selections, from chorizo to venison, each one made to be savoured slowly.

Available in Mudgee at Mainly Mudgee Gifts: 78 Church Street, Mudgee

Or from The Salami Man himself located at:
33 Castlereagh Highway, Cullen Bullen, NSW 2790

OLIVES & OLIVE OIL: Pipeclay Estate
Set on the historic Pipeclay goldfields, Pipeclay Estate is a place where land, flavour and family come together. Now under the care of the Price family, the estate has been thoughtfully restored and reimagined, with a clear focus on quality, provenance and producing food that reflects the character of the region.

Their extra virgin olive oil and table olives are a natural fit for fireside grazing - rich, balanced and full of flavour. Grown and crafted on the property alongside a boutique vineyard and farm-raised produce, each offering is a true expression of the land.

Just a short drive from Mudgee, the estate’s pop-up farm shop opens monthly - typically across the first weekend - offering a chance to experience their products in person. Check their website for opening hours.

For those planning ahead, their range is also available online at pipeclayestate.com.au - making it easy to bring a taste of Pipeclay Estate home.
