International Flavour!
Spanish olives. Italian pasta. South African Biltong. Russian Caviar. Turkish delight in a huge range of flavours, Swiss chocolates and Pop Tarts, and that is only scratching the surface of the thousands of imported foods from over 60 countries you’ll find at Bibina.
For ex-pats and migrants it’s a treasure-trove of the foods you love, that you grew up eating that you can’t find in Australian supermarkets. For Australians it’s a way to try international tastes without a long-haul flight.
The mix of international products at Bibina is extensive – from snack foods to soft drinks to spices to baked goods to chocolates to breakfast cereals to cheeses… from jars to cans to chilled and frozen foods.
Of particular note is Bibina's cheese room, which has a huge range of European, American and Australian cheeses, specially selected for quality, taste and value. Bibina sells them as whole imported wheels and blocks, or cut into smaller wedges.
The demand for quality chocolates grew over the years so much that Bibina now has a dedicated climate-controlled chocolate room with a huge range of local and imported chocolates, and even a range of dairy-free chocolates.
Mediterranean
Bibina was founded by a Mediterranean family which sourced olives, olive oil, antipasto, pasta and many of the other foods Bibina is famous for.
Today Bibina stocks hundreds of different olive oils from all corners of the globe, Australian and imported olives, peppers, pasta, sausage, salami, anchovies, dressings and coffee. There are lots of imported cheeses from the region too including goat's cheese, offering a huge range of flavours and styles.
From the Southern side of the Med is North Africa and the Middle East, where Bibina’s enormous range of Turkish Delight, Baklava, Kourambiethes Shortbread and Turkish coffee all originated.
