Cricketer Adam Zampa has made a notable investment in the Adelaide-based limoncello brand Ambra, which is currently raising nearly $700,000 through crowdfunding. This move highlights the brand's impressive growth, having more than doubled its revenue in the past year, signaling a strong market interest in artisanal beverages.
Fonterra has reported a significant revenue increase of 15% to $22.93 billion, alongside a 13% rise in operating profit to $1.5 billion, driven partly by its divestment from Mainland Group. This financial boost underscores the cooperative's robust performance in a competitive landscape.
In a shift towards cleaner ingredients, Mondelez has announced plans to replace synthetic food dyes with natural alternatives, following its commitment to eliminate artificial colors and flavors by 2020. This aligns with growing consumer demand for transparency and healthier options in food products.
Additionally, the opening of Martha’s, a Mediterranean-inspired bakery in Sydney's Wareemba, adds to the city's vibrant food scene. Owner Paris Nassif aims to bring unique flavors and spices to the local market, reflecting the increasing trend towards diverse culinary experiences.
