At Melba Restaurant we are committed to sourcing local and fresh produce. As our menus change seasonally, so does the produce we use. Our restaurant Chefs would like to share with your the seasonal produce currently available on the dinner menu.
ABALONES, Indented Head, East of Geelong
Nurtured in the pristine waters of the Great Southern Ocean, the rare and celebrated Jade Tiger Abalone has a stunning green shell and tiger stripe, and is fed by the cold, oxygenated and nutrient rich waters that sweep up from the Antarctic.
SCALLOPS, Bass Strait
During June to December when the water temperatures are coolest, scallop is in the best eating condition at this time of the year. The Port Phillip Bay (Dive) Scallop Fishery is classified in the 2016 Australian Status of Fish Stocks as ‘Sustainable’.
KING PRAWNS, Mooloolaba
It’s good to be the king. Our prawns arrive off the Mooloolada trawlers wild- caught. King prawns have a lovely almost iridescent blue purple colouration on the tail and sweet flavour when cooked.
OCTOPUS, Fremantle
Fremantle Octopus is wild-caught in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner from the clear, clean blue waters off the Western Australia’s coast and is widely considered by foodies as the best in the world.
MUSSELS, Portarlington Bellarine Peninsula
Port Phillip and Western Port are ideal locations for marine aquaculture because they have clean oceanic and bay water of the right temperatures to grow shellfish. Portarlington Mussels, on the Bellarine Peninsula, are said to be some of the best quality, tastiest mussels in the world.
HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES, Mornington Peninsula
The unique maritime climate of the Mornington Peninsula is fertile ground for everything from avocados to artichokes, broccoli to beetroot, herbs to heirloom vegetables and distance is less than an hour’s drive from Melbourne.
POULTRY, Kangaroo Flat
Hazeldene’s has its roots in Kangaroo Flat, a suburb of Bendigo in Central Victoria, Dick and Mavis Hazeldene became a formidable partnership in 1951. Their drive, professionalism and ultimate success saw the establishment of free-range chicken coops at Lockwood.
ANGUS BEEF, Southern Gippsland
With abundant, nutrient rich pastures cattle graze on natural clover and rye grass that provide protein, vitamins and minerals in Gippsland. Cattle raised are free of genetic modifications, hormones, and antibiotics.
ROARING FORTIES LAMB, Bass Strait
The wild stretch of ocean known as “Bass Strait” carries the cleanest air in the world over the pastures of Tasmania and Southern Victoria. These special lambs that go into the Roaring Forties selections came from between the 36th to the 50th degree parallel – containing famous regions like Flinders Island, Cape Grim and Gippsland.
FREE RANGE PORK, Oaklands NSW
Our selection of pork is raised in a stress-free environment and have the freedom to play and wallow in the mud, and feed at will. Raised in Oaklands in Central NSW.
FARINACCI PASTA, Melbourne
We have been handcrafting fresh pasta right here in Melbourne since 1985. And since then, have grown from a much- loved local pasta shop to an industry renewed producer of fresh pasta.
ARTISAN CHEESES, Victoria
We work with one of the best Australian milk suppliers – the milk mainly comes from the Smith Family Organic Farm on the Great Ocean Road. The Smiths look after their pastures organically with no pesticides. They don’t feed their jersey cows any silage, which makes for happy cows and great milk.
BULLA CREAM, Victoria
Bulla Dairy Foods is an Australian dairy company that manufactures a national and export range of ice cream, table cream, yoghurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, and imitation cream under various brands. The business was established in 1910 and subsequently became a partnership among three inter-related families, who continue to own and operate the business.
