The Humble Beginnings of Ricci’s Bikkies

What started in 2003 as a modest market stall in the Yarra Valley has blossomed into one of Australia’s most beloved names in gourmet snacks. Back then, Ricci’s Bikkies was built around a single, simple idea: to create delicious, high-quality snacks using honest, locally sourced ingredients.

The Ricci's Bikkies journey in gourmet snacks launched the original Pita Crisp at a time when the concept was unheard of. It quickly gained traction, becoming a pantry staple for families and food lovers alike. You can learn more about our full story on our About Us page.

Staying True to Handmade, Gourmet Snacks

Over 22 years later, our commitment remains unwavering. At Ricci's Bikkies, we continue to handcraft our range with care and attention, keeping quality at the heart of everything we do.

Our snacks are made in small batches to preserve authenticity and taste. We use only the finest ingredients sourced ethically, whenever possible, from local Australian producers. Whether it's the rich parmesan, fragrant garlic, or golden local olive oil, every bite tells a story of tradition and craft.

We also recently introduced a delicious new product to our range: Ricci’s Crispy Chilli with Candied Garlic – crafted in Thailand. It’s a sweet, spicy, and crunchy condiment perfect for elevating noodles, eggs, or your favourite rice and stir-fry dishes.
