The Humble Beginnings of Ricci’s Bikkies

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

The Ricci's Bikkies Journey in Gourmet 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 foodies alike. You can learn more about our full story on our About Us page.

Staying True to Handmade, Gourmet Snacks ...The Ricci's Bikkies Journey in Gourmet


Over 22 years later, our commitment remains the same. 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, when 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.
