Slow Food South Australia

Join Slow Food South Australia for two special events at this years Tasting Australia!

📅Wednesday 13th May 5pm-9pm
"One place. Meet the producers. Join the movement." with Fair Seafood

Where conscious eating, meets celebration - experience a six-course journey that proves sustainability can be spectacular. Every bite tells a story: of fishers who respect the ocean's rhythms, of growers who nurture the soil, of a food system that values people and place.

This isn't just dinner—it's a delicious rebellion. Against industrial agriculture. Against overfishing. Against the idea that good food can't be clean, fair, and accessible to all. Together, we're building a future where exceptional meals support thriving local communities and healthy marine ecosystems 🐟🦑

📅Sunday 17th May 1:30pm *FREE EVENT*
"Homemade - Sausage-making with Rosa Matto and Gumshire Pork"

Sometimes you do want to see how the sausage is made. Like when the masterful Rosa Matto gets to work with Nonna's Cucina in celebration of her Italian heritage, using the best Barossa pork in snags the whole family will love. There’s nothing ambiguous about these ingredients – just a simple staple done exceedingly well 🐖🌭

Seasons Greetings from Rosa and the whole team at Slow Food South Australia!

2025 has been a year of considerable activity for Slow Food South Australia. We have enjoyed special dinners, long table lunches and initiated many activities and programs to promote Slow Food.

🐌The Snail of Approval program is in full swing with 24 recipients (and more to come) across the four categories of Restaurant and Cafe, Producer, Chef, and Food Artisan. They represent great examples of Slow Food in practice. Consider supporting them when you have the opportunity.

🐌 Our first Youth Ambassadors are busy highlighting the principles of Slow Food in their school and social circles.
🐌 The workbook for primary schools had its pilot run in three schools and has been implemented in several schools at years three and four.
🐌 Members have participated in community activities including pop up demonstrations at Farmer's Markets and community workshops and presentations. We are always keen to spread the word about Slow Food.
🐌 Take time to visit our new, refreshed website.

Our committee continues to evolve. Rosa Matto has taken up the leader role, supported by previous leader Tania Paola as deputy. Our sincere thanks to Gina DalSanto, Nick Tadija, Delphine de'Salisbury and Bhavisha Keshwala who have left the committee. We are delighted to be joined by new committee members Enrico Sgarbossa, Julie Low and Andy Wood.

We are working on the program for 2026 which will be announced early in the new year. Thank you for your support of Slow Food SA and we look forward to seeing you at our events in 2026 ✨️🎄🐌

We would like to congratulate Barossa Valley Ice Cream Company, another fantastic business on receiving their recognition!🐌🍦

Since opening their doors in 2012, The Barossa Valley Ice Cream Company has stayed true to their passion: crafting delicious frozen desserts using whole, natural, South Australian ingredients and traditional methods — “the ice cream we had when we were kids.”

Julie and the team source whole milk, pure cream, fruits, nuts directly from SA producers. When ingredients can’t be found locally, they choose only traceable, sustainable, community-minded suppliers — from Sunshine Sugar’s grower-owned co-op to fair-trade chocolate, vanilla and coffee. They will also make small-batch products from seasonal ingredients that locals have generously provided during harvest, including pumpkins, figs, & feijoas.

Sustainability is central to everything they do, from compostable packaging to solar panels that power the factory and feed into two Tesla batteries. Julie also gives back as a qualified Food Safety Supervisor, volunteering with Regional Development Australia Barossa to support new food businesses with safety planning, HACCP guidance and practical industry advice.

Congratulations again to Barossa Valley Ice Cream Company for their commitment to good, clean & fair food 🐌🍦
