This year we have hand picked three cheesealicious options:

French featuring Le Rustique Camembert – A traditional creamy Camembert from Normandie that has a lingering richness on your palate. 

Irish starring Crozler Blue – The Grubb family’s very special creamy Blue that packs a punch. Produced on their farm in county Tipperary.

English spotlighting Quickes English Cheddar – This farmhouse cheddar is traditionally made and cloth wrapped.  This quality cheddar speaks for itself with a rich creamy mouth feel and lingering flavor. One of the best!

Each cheese box includes Tognini’s whole meal thins and quince paste, Willbrand saffron pears & a chocolate Easter treat.

Be Our Valentine!

A Cupcake Story

Cupcakes have been on the rise of popularity for the past few years, inspired by scenes from Sex in the City of Magnolia’s bakery in New York. Magnolia’s original cupcake recipe was a perfect vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream icing tinted pink, nicknamed the ‘Barbie cake’. Now, although we are not in New York, the obsession spread fast.

6 years ago a friend of a friend popped into our store at Milton and said “Mark, I have this friend of ours who makes the best cupcakes around”. Naturally, being the sweet tooth that he is Mark said... “Great, tell her to bring some down for me to try”, and this is where it all began. The following day, arrived a gorgeous woman who goes by the name Aleta, mother of two with an incredible talent in the kitchen. Her love and passion for baking keeps her busy, and by busy I mean while being a mother of two, she is awake throughout the night preparing her cupcakes for morning deliveries. Aleta’s cupcakes are a baby vanilla cupcake with a light butter cream icing in various pastel shades. 

 In the words of Narelle, these little masterpieces are perfect for every occasion, well loved by all from our little pink tutu ballerina’s at Milton to football stars with their coffee in the afternoon, birthday parties and special occasions or afternoon treats.

This Valentine’s Day Aleta will be busy preparing some extra special Valentine’s Day cupcakes. These dreamy bite size treats are made especially for Valentine’s Day with Belgium chocolate and a rich chocolate icing with a red heart on top. They will be for sale individually or in boxes of 4 or 9. Place your order by February 12^th; you will not want to miss out.

#10 Days of Tognini's Christmas - Christmas Puddings

Christmas Pudding

The puddings are ready and just waiting for a home! 

At the Tognini's family christmas nothing is more highly anticipated then the Christmas pudding. Seriously. You know it is pudding time when you can smell the fruits cooking away in the pot, next  we pour warm Grand Mariner and set the pudd alight. Keep the kiddies away from the potential fire hazard and have the sober adult in charge of the pudding!

Each pudding is handmade with love by Narelle who spends hours prepping everything for your Christmas pudding. The pudding is truly delicious and will be a huge hit at any Christmas event. 

Best served with Tognini's vanilla bean anglaise and a generous scoop of ice cream. Yum. 

We can not wait for Christmas.. only 11 more sleeps!

#10 Days of Tognini's Christmas - Nougat

Nougat.


Who doesn't love nougat? It comes down to individual preference on whether you like it soft and chewy or hard and crunchy.

There is debate on where exactly Nougat started in Southern Europe, between the French, Spanish and Italians. In Italy, nougat is commonly consumed around Christmas time in Sicily known as Torrone.

Oliviero Ospedaletto is our favourite product line coming through this year with nougat being their specialty product.

Throughout this range we are carrying both original and chocolate soft nougat, hard nougat and individually wrapped bite size pieces, which would be perfect for hangning off the Christmas treee or hiding throughout your home on Christmas day!
