At Dello Mano, brownies are much more than a recipe — they're the sweet embodiment of a love story, a dream, and a deep belief that food crafted by hand holds a special kind of magic.When we first dreamed of Dello Mano, we weren't aiming to start a trend or disrupt an industry. We simply wanted to create something beautiful — food that felt personal, meaningful, and luxurious because it was made the slow, careful way. At the heart of it all was the humble brownie.
When we started in 2006, the browniein Australia was often overlooked. Seen as an afterthought, it was typically a mass-produced square lacking spirit or care. But to us, the brownie was something more: rich, decadent, nurturing — a little parcel of joy.
We believed brownies deserved a place on the pedestal, celebrated for their potential as a luxury food. Not luxury in a distant, cold sense — but luxury in the way that handmade things are luxurious: full of character, depth, and warmth.
So, we set out to reimagine the brownie. To give it the reverence we believed it deserved.
Our early days were full of late nights and big dreams. With two young daughters at home, we often baked into the night after bedtime stories and goodnight kisses.
We didn't have a commercial kitchen of our own yet. Thanks to the kindness of a fellow Slow Food Movement member, we were offered access to the Taringa Soccer Club kitchen after hours. We’d arrive with sleepy kids and camping beds in tow, setting them up in a cozy corner while we got to work.
Under the warm glow of old kitchen lights, we baked our brownies in small batches — mixing, pouring, watching the batter transform into something dense, fudgy, and full of heart. We can still remember the scent of chocolate and butter filling that kitchen, carrying our hopes with it.
It wasn’t glamorous. It was hard work, fueled by pure passion.
And we loved every second.
From the beginning, we knew we didn’t want to take shortcuts.
Every Dello Mano brownie would be made with the best ingredients we could find: rich Belgian chocolate, real butter, fresh eggs, pure vanilla.
Each batch would be baked by hand, in small batch quantities, allowing us to pour attention into every square. We would never compromise on quality for speed. We would never see our brownies as "just products."
To us, they were gifts. Moments. Memories.
That philosophy has guided us through every twist and turn of our journey — and it still does today.
Our first public step was a humble farmers' market stall. No big advertising campaign, no celebrity launch — just a simple setup and a belief that people could taste the difference.
We wrapped each handmade brownie carefully, placed them on our modest table, and shared our story with every curious passerby. Some people had never seen a brownie quite like it. Rich. Decadent. Luxurious yet deeply comforting.
Slowly, word spread. Customers would come back, telling us how our brownies had made a birthday sweeter, a tough day better, a celebration more memorable.
And so began the Dello Mano love story with the world.
Over the years, Dello Mano grew beyond anything we had imagined.
Our brownies became a symbol of small-batch Australian luxury, finding their way into homes, events, and even the hands of celebrities. We were honoured to supply our handmade browniesto exclusive brands like Cartier, luxury hotels like The Calile, and major international events like the G20 Summit.
Yet no matter how far we’ve come, we’ve never forgotten those first nights baking by candlelight. We’ve stayed true to the values that matter most:
Handmade, small-batch baking
Premium ingredients
Deep care in every detail
A personal touch in every gift
In every brownie, you can still taste that original dream.
In today’s fast-paced, mass-produced world, handmade food has become a rare and precious thing.
It’s slower. It’s harder. It requires more heart.
But that’s exactly why it’s luxurious. True luxury isn't about super fancy packaging or grand gestures. It's about connection. Care. Authenticity.
When you choose a Dello Mano brownie, you're not just choosing a delicious treat. You're choosing a piece of our story. A piece of our belief that handmade food — real food — still has a powerful place in modern life.
Eighteen years later, we are still making our brownies by hand.
Our daughters, once small children tucked into camping beds at the soccer club, have grown up with the business. They’ve seen firsthand what dedication, love, and hard work can create.
And now, every time we see someone bite into a Dello Mano brownie, smile, and close their eyes for a moment of pure indulgence — we know the love story continues.
It’s written in every batch we bake. It’s wrapped into every box we send. It’s shared in every celebration, every thank-you, every moment of kindness.
And it's why we believe the best brownies aren’t mass-produced — they're handmade.
With heart.
With care.
With love.
