Yackandandah Lemon Curd

Brand History and Origin

Yackandandah preserves are deeply rooted in Australian heritage. Named after the historic town of Yackandandah in Victoria, the brand was founded by Pete and Maree Scales. It began as a small-scale operation focused on traditional recipes and high-quality local ingredients, eventually becoming a staple on Australian supermarket shelves, particularly within the Coles network.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

The product is manufactured in Australia, maintaining its commitment to local production. The brand prides itself on using 'natural country style' recipes, which involve sourcing high-quality fruit to produce thick, rich curds and jams that aim to replicate a home-cooked feel.

Ownership and Distribution

Yackandandah is an Australian-owned brand. It is an proprietary brand under Scales Food Pty Ltd, a family-run company. Unlike many heritage brands that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Yackandandah remains under local private ownership, focusing on its niche of premium traditional preserves and desserts.
