Introduction: The Rise of Artisan Snacks
Why Artisan Snacks Are Taking Over Australian Entertaining
In Australia, entertaining is all about flavour, quality, and connection. Whether you’re hosting a Sunday lunch, a picnic in the park, or curating a grazing board, the snacks you serve matter. That’s why more people are reaching for artisan snacks—handmade, small-batch creations with real ingredients and big flavour.
At Ricci’s Bikkies, we’ve been proudly crafting artisan snacks in the Yarra Valley since 2003. For over 22 years, our small, family-run bakery has created original Australian products that combine tradition with quality.
What Makes a Snack Artisan?
An artisan snack is thoughtfully made—often by hand, in small batches, using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. It’s about care, not shortcuts. That’s what sets Ricci’s apart.
From our beloved Palmiettes de Croissant to our Original Pita Crisps, every product is made with intention. No artificial additives, just real food with real flavour—baked in the Yarra Valley and enjoyed across the country.
Why Australians Are Craving Small-Batch Quality -Why Artisan Snacks Are Taking Over Australian Entertaining
There’s a growing demand for small-batch, premium snacks that reflect authenticity and flavour. Australians are:
Choosing Local – Supporting Australian-made brands with integrity
Focusing on Ingredients – Looking for natural, clean-label foods
Entertaining with Ease – Seeking out beautiful, fuss-free platter additions
Wanting the Original – Craving snacks with a story and a legacy
Since 2003, our Original Pita Crisp has been a pantry favourite for good reason—it’s baked, not fried, and delivers the kind of crunch and flavour you don’t forget.
Our Premium Range of Artisan Snacks
Our range is handcrafted in small batches to ensure every bite meets the Ricci’s standard. Some of our premium, artisan favourites include:
Garlic, Olive & Parmesan Pita Crisps – Savoury and full of flavour
Olive Oil & Sea Salt Pita Crisps – A clean, crisp base for cheese or dips
Palmiettes de Croissant – Golden, buttery layers in a crisp, moreish bite
Pita Bits – A playful, snackable twist on the original crisp
We’ve been handcrafting these products in the Yarra Valley for over two decades, and we’re proud to continue the tradition.
