Reviews of Pastilla Nash

The Age

"A slice of Prune and Walnut log is my favourite treat to have after dinner or with a cup of tea. It's sweet yet tangy, slightly chewy, and a whole lot better for me than a biscuit or a piece of chocolate."

Necia Wilden - Deputy editor Epicure, The Age

2005 Better Brands Holiday Show

[extracts from...] The first table featured three cheeses from the King Island Dairy which were the Surprise Bay Cheddar, Roaring Forties Bleu and the Seal Bay Triple Cream Brie. Accompanying the cheeses were a Prune and Walnut slice from Pastilla Nash of New South Wales, infused macadamia dipping oils from Oz Tukka and infused olive oils from Island Olive Grove.

Guests were impressed with the overall quality of the food items. The King Island cheeses were a big hit and comments centred around the richness of the brie, the creaminess of the cheddar and how easy the bleu is on the palate. The dipping oils were popular, particularly Oz Tukka’s lemon myrtle-ginger macadamia oil and Island Olive Grove’s chive- garlic olive oil. The biggest head turner would have to be the Prune & Walnut slice from Pastilla Nash. People were amazed by the product’s taste and richness. It was a perfect compliment to the cheeses. I had people coming up to the table saying, “People on the opposite side of the show are talking about this and I came all the way over so that I could try it.”

EMAIL

"I would just like to send you an email to let you know that I purchased some of your prune and walnut log at Prahran market on Friday. I have to say that it was one of the best food items that I have ever bought and would just like to pass this on to you to say thankyou, the whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it is so good that I am nervous about buying it again, as I seemed to have eaten most of it myself! (I will buy it again!) Once again, congratulations on a wonderful and most delicious product."
