for chocolate
L
ast month, Adelaide’s hottest new destination for
coffee opened its doors on Melbourne Street. First
Pour is the first SA branch of national specialist
coffee roasters Veneziano, who already have cafés in
Brisbane and Melbourne. Single-origin coffee is sourced from
around the world and roasted at their exclusive roasting
facilities. First Pour will feature a cupping room for tastings
and seminars, a brew bar offering alternative techniques,
and even a tea house. The space will also play host to a
pop-up Chocolate @ No. 5 concept store, the only outlet in
the city to sell their artisan chocolates and other delicious
goodies. It’s great news for city folk in need of a chocolate fix.
111 Melbourne St, North Adelaide.
Record high for SA
food production
A big cheer for all South Aussie
producers! Food production in the state
reached record highs during 2010–11.
Revenue from food production for SA
increased by almost a quarter, while food
production itself reached a record $4.36
billion — an increase of 24 per cent from
the previous year. Food exports had a
63 per cent increase, meaning more
of our overseas friends can taste our
homegrown delicacies. With so much
good food out there, there has never been
a better time to buy South Australian!
Warming cuppa
With the weather turning cooler, we’re
already dreaming of curling up with a
hot cuppa. Our go-to winter drink is the
classic hot chocolate, and sometimes
you need to indulge while still in your
pj’s, which is why we love The Real Hot
Chocolate, an easy-to-make chocolate
drink. Just warm up a mug of milk and
pop in The Real Hot Chocolate spoon,
which comes with 50g of professionally
tempered European chocolate on the end
to flavour your milk. Plus, it comes in six
different flavours.
Speaking of warming drinks, if, like us, you
fear another winter will slip by without
getting around to making that batch
of mulled wine, then look no further
than Pichlers Tiroler Gluhwein. The
ingenious brew bags contain specially
selected aromatic spices and natural
ingredients based on traditional recipes.

Crazy for cranberry
We’re big fans of cranberry juice, so we couldn’t help getting a little bit excited at
Bickford’s latest release — cranberry cordial. In the same vein as their famous lime cordial,
the new offering captures the essence of cranberries to add zest to plain soda water or
your cocktail. If cranberry’s not your thing, keep an eye out for Bickford’s diet lemon lime
and bitters cordial, a new spin on an old favourite.
