History
220+ Fine Food Awards
Click here to see the powerful story of how this family turned a traditional Almond Shortbread, using their mother’s recipe, into a multi award-winning product range that helps Australian businesses grow.
Now with 10 award-winning flavours, there is nothing that comes close to the quality and taste of the Bite Size Range.
We make all our sweet biscuits in Australia with the finest ingredients where 90% are sourced from AU/NZ, and we proudly support our local farmers.
THE BEGINNING 2006 - EARLWOOD NSW
Raised in a Greek home where the day began with the aroma of freshly baked bread and sweets, sisters Anna and Sue grew up surrounded by tradition. They carried this tradition into their own families, and later shared it with yours bringing the warmth of their kitchen into your home..
It wasn’t easy, but with the help of my family, it became possible. Until, it felt impossible again when Jeremy had a bigger vision for the recipes that made up so many of his childhood memories.
The first cheque is banked
After months of experimenting, Bitesize felt like a real business with the support from A1 Cafe in Ultimo and Gertrude & Alice in Bondi, NSW its first two customers, we were on our way.
Five flavours all hand made.
- Chocolate Chip
- Vanilla
- Fruit
- Honey & Walnut
- Almond
Out of the kitchen, into a factory
After roughly 18 months of baking by hand, demand outgrew the home kitchen. Bitesize moved into their first factory unit. The first employee was hired around this time a landmark moment in the shift from family operation to growing business.
- One million biscuits by hand
- With regular clients and producing 20,000 biscuits a week,
- Bitesize made its millionth biscuits
- Every single one is hand-cut with cookie cutters.
The first club client.
Beyond cafés: clubs and venues
Bitesize signed up with Penrith Panthers.
AGE Gaming Expo First year
Bitesize began supplying the Australasian Gaming Expo, a partnership that would run for 17+ consecutive years and become one of the longest-standing relationships in the business. What started as curiosity became a cornerstone of the annual calendar.
Sydney Royal Easter Show debut and award winner
The stall experience introduced Bitesize to the Royal Fine Food Awards and the judges who would change the trajectory of the business. Bitesize ran a stall for approximately five consecutive years.
13 Royal Fine Food Awards including Champion Biscuit
Bitesize entered every flavour in the Sydney Royal Fine Food Awards and won all 13 one for each biscuit, plus the Champion Biscuit award for Honey & Walnut. A historic clean sweep. At this milestone point in the business, production had reached 7.5 million biscuits per year, the team had grown to 12 full-time staff, and the client base spanned over 350 customers Australia-wide.
HIGHEST HONOUR
Only weeks after the Champion award, BiteSize was awarded the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW's highest accolade: the Award of Outstanding Excellence. To be eligible, a company must already hold both Gold and Champion medals. Judges deemed the product 'of Outstanding Quality, well above in superiority than all others' and concluded it 'can't be altered or perfected any more than what it currently is.'
Technology upgraded - First automated bake line
After years of hand-cutting, two patty machines, and rapidly growing orders, BiteSize made its boldest investment: a purpose-built automated production line at a cost of approximately $600,000. It was a decision debated carefully between Jeremy, his mother, and their accountant George but ultimately it was the right one. The leap that unlocked national scale.
Best Commercial Exhibitor Award Winner
Bitesize wins Best Commercial Stand at the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2014 the final year they exhibit. Finishing on the highest possible note after approximately five years of stall trading. The award ribbon still hangs in the office today.
Bitesize Expanded into Second and third factory spaces
Production demand requires expansion beyond the first Unit and our tiny team. Bitesize not only takes on two more Units growing into a multi-unit factory complex. None of this would have been possible without growing our team that has become a family.
Production reached 30 million biscuits a year
Bitesize crosses 30 million biscuits produced annually, a scale that would have been unimaginable from that Earlwood kitchen just twelve years earlier. The business now serves clients across cafés, clubs, corporates, and hospitality groups nationwide.
Bitesize funraising is born
During COVID, Bitesize identifies a new purpose beyond profit and launches Funraising a social enterprise arm helping schools and community groups raise money through products people genuinely love. A biscuit becomes a fundraiser. A transaction becomes a contribution.
First school order for BiteSize ‘Fun’raising
St Christopher's Panania becomes the first ‘FUN’raising client the beginning of a movement that would go on to help Australian schools raise over $1,500,000 for their communities. For every box sold, a school earns. For every student who sells, a community wins.
Bitesize Coffee Treats becomes Bitesize Group
Reflecting over a decade of diversification — cafés, clubs, corporates, and fundraising the business rebrands as Bitesize Group. No longer just a coffee biscuit: a full Australian food business with a national footprint, a social enterprise arm, and a growing family of products and people.
200+ Royal Fine Food Awards
