VARIETIES

A dried grape for every taste and purpose

SULTANAS

The quality of Australian sultanas is world renowned. They have a soft texture, sweet taste and unique golden colour – perfect for snacking and baking.

Sultanas comprise several flavoursome varieties, including the more traditional Thompson Seedless along with Merbein Seedless, Selma Pete, and the newer Sunglo. Fruit is dried on the vine and sprayed with a natural drying oil around harvest time to fast track the process. This drying technique creates the sultana’s light base colour that can’t be found anywhere else.

Australian Sultanas are naturally preserved through sun-drying, are packed with vitamins & minerals and known for their quality worldwide.
