Mediterranean Wholesalers in Melbourne

Last week we had a day of shopping in Melbourne. Now shopping is one of my least favourite activities, however the day had an enticement at the end. We went to the Mediterranean Wholesalers in Sydney Road, Brunswick!

This large shop is something of a tourist attraction in that it has a huge range of food items imported from the Mediterranean region, mainly Italy but also Greece, Spain and other countries. As well as the expected items that are readily available in many shops in Australia, there was dried salted cod (baccala), chestnut flour, huge jars of anchovies, torrone (Italian nougat), a big grater in the deli to produce freshly grated parmesan and gran padano, and even Proraso, Kel's favourite Italian shaving cream.

With Christmas approaching the displays were festive and delicious looking. We enjoyed looking at all the lovely produce which stimulated our memories and also our taste buds, and we made some purchases.

This is a collection of our purchases ... to be enjoyed at Christmas in Benalla.
