Sticky Balsamic is a proudly Australian, family-owned business located in Bannockburn, Regional Victoria, dedicated to producing premium artisan balsamic products that combine exceptional flavour, innovation and uncompromising quality. Founded in 2013 by an ex-chef with a passion for creating memorable food experiences, the business began in a rented commercial kitchen where small batches were handcrafted after hours before being packed by hand at home. What started as a simple idea quickly gained momentum through farmers’ markets, local retailers and word-of-mouth, earning a loyal following of food lovers seeking something truly different.
Today, Sticky Balsamic has grown into Australia’s most awarded balsamic producer, earning more than 120 medals, awards and business recognitions across Australia’s leading food competitions. Its achievements include Champion Food Item at the Royal Adelaide Show, Australian Business Awards recognition for New Product Innovation, numerous Royal Tasmanian, Royal Sydney and Australian Food Awards medals, along with business excellence awards recognising both manufacturing quality and product innovation.
Despite its remarkable growth, Sticky Balsamic remains committed to its original philosophy of producing every product in-house. Unlike many manufacturers, the company has never outsourced production, allowing complete control over ingredient quality, consistency and craftsmanship. Every bottle is proudly manufactured in Regional Victoria by the family behind the brand, ensuring the same premium standards that built its reputation from the very beginning.
Sticky Balsamic has become renowned for transforming traditional balsamic into an exciting gourmet pantry staple. The range features an extensive selection of fruit-infused balsamic varieties including Original, Fig, Apple, Lemon, Pomegranate, Quince, Truffle and seasonal specialty flavours, carefully crafted to complement both savoury and sweet dishes. Their products effortlessly enhance salads, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, seafood, cheeses, desserts and grazing platters, making gourmet entertaining accessible for both home cooks and professional chefs.
Continuing its focus on innovation, Sticky Balsamic introduced its award-winning Sticky Balsamic Pearls, bringing molecular gastronomy into everyday kitchens. Using an innovative reverse spherification process, each delicate pearl delivers a burst of premium balsamic flavour with an elegant visual presentation and unique texture. This revolutionary product has become a standout within the gourmet food market and continues to attract attention from retailers, chefs and consumers worldwide.
Built on the core values of trust, respect and honesty, Sticky Balsamic remains deeply connected to its local community while expanding internationally.
