We're often asked why or how we came to set up Dello Mano. This is our little Dello Mano story. Of course, for those of you who know us there is also a bigger story but lets just go with the short version.

The Dello Mano Story:

My childhood dream was to develop a food business. Retrospectively it seems

that I went a long way around this simple dream. Having collected qualifications  and

experience in Food Science, Marketing and Counselling it has been a long journey

but just goes to show that a heart dream never really does go away!

When Bien and I met we shared a similar dream of creating a food brand with the pure vision of  providing a truly beautiful, quality, premium food and chocolate  experience. We were both food marketers and just had a dream to do it our way. Our belief was and is, that this vision is only possible when food is handcrafted and prepared by people genuine in their intent, happy and creatively free.

We believe strongly in the magic of handcrafted products and the passion that must naturally be

there to motivate one to this work. Passion can be tasted because it’s what adds the care,

authenticity and of course the magic to each brownie and chocolate piece!

The Dello Mano experience goes beyond the exceptional and distinctive taste of our

Brownies  and chocolate and extends to our gorgeous packaging, our attention to detail and our personalized friendly and supportive service. Each of our creations is the result of many hours of work and designed with our total vision in mind. We are about premium quality, magical handcrafted products using ingredients from people that really care.

Dello Mano today is the result of our combined talents, skills, long hours and shared

passion for our brownies, chocolate  and our business. Dello Mano is fortunate in that it is the recipient of passion extending from our children, our parents, our sister Linda, Terry our brother in law and our niece Meggy, as well as several other gorgeous family friends who have all contributed because, they too believe in the dream.

We encourage everyone to open the little box within their own heart and in some way small or

large follow the dream that lies within. Our own experience is that this is pure liberation!
