Key Takeaway
There’s something special about meeting customers face to face.
After months of baking, packing, manufacturing and navigating the realities of small business in Australia, markets like The Big Design Market remind us why we started Ricci’s Bikkies in the first place.
This weekend, we’re excited to be returning to the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton for the Almost Winter edition of The Big Design Market, alongside more than 250 incredible independent designers, makers and food producers from around Australia.
Since 2003, Ricci’s Bikkies has proudly handcrafted artisan food products using locally sourced ingredients and a commitment to ethical, sustainable manufacturing. More than 23 years later, we’re still proudly making our iconic Pita Crisps, Palmiettes de Croissant, handmade Yo-Yo biscuits, Asian sauces and our Crispy Chilli with Candied Garlic.
Why Big Design Market Melbourne Matters More Than Ever
Running a small manufacturing business in Australia has never been easy, but right now it feels tougher than ever.
Rising costs, changing retail conditions and increasing pressure on local food manufacturing means every online order, every market visit and every conversation genuinely matters.
Markets like The Big Design Market allow customers to discover Australian made products, support local families and meet the people behind the brands they love.
For us, that’s Ross, Charlie and our small family team from Healesville.
We believe handmade food still matters. Real ingredients still matter. Australian manufacturing still matters.
What We’ll Be Bringing This Weekend
We’re excited to return to Big Design Market Melbourne this weekend alongside some of Australia’s best independent brands and makers.
We’ll be bringing a full range of Ricci’s Bikkies products to The Big Design Market this weekend, including:
• Garlic, Olive & Parmesan Pita Crisps
• Olive Oil & Sea Salt Pita Crisps
• Palmiettes de Croissant
• Asian sauces
• Crispy Chilli with Candied Garlic
• Gift favourites and market specials
If you’ve been wanting to try our products, stock up on favourites or discover something new, this is the perfect opportunity.
Why Our Crispy Chilli Keeps Selling Out
One product we simply cannot make enough of right now is our Crispy Chilli with Candied Garlic.
Originally sourced from Thailand and carefully selected by Ricci’s Bikkies, this addictive crispy chilli oil has quickly become one of the most talked about products in our range.
Customers are using it on:
• Eggs
• Dumplings
• Pizza
• Pasta
• Noodles
• Stir fries
• Avocado toast
The balance of heat, crunch, sweetness and garlic has seen the product repeatedly sell out at recent design and makers markets around Australia.
If you’re visiting The Big Design Market this weekend, make sure you get in early.

This weekend you’ll find Ross and Charlie at the stand helping customers sample products, pack orders and share the Ricci’s Bikkies story.
