From the pioneers of Australian luxury brownies — Dello Mano.
A brownie might seem simple. But at Dello Mano, we’ve spent over 18 years proving that it can be extraordinary.
Born from a shared love of chocolate and a dream inspired by Italy’s artisan food culture, Dello Mano took something familiar — the humble brownie — and transformed it into a luxurious, handcrafted experience. Every bite of our brownie delivers a soft, fudgy texture first, then unfolds into a deep, rich, caramelised chocolate flavour, rounded off by a subtle note of vanilla.
This is your definitive guide to the best brownies in Australia — how to choose them, why taste and texture matter, and why luxury is best served handmade.
It’s not just about chocolate. It’s about balance, precision, and care.
A great brownie begins with mouthfeel — soft, dense, never dry. Ours are creamy and rich, with just the right amount of structure.
Our brownies release a deep chocolate intensity, with caramelised richness and warm vanilla notes.
Belgian chocolate. Pure butter. Fresh eggs. No compound chocolate or shortcuts.
No mass production. Each brownie is handmade and quality-checked for perfection.
Founder’s Insight: “We’ve rejected entire batches because the top wasn’t just right or the texture didn’t meet our standard. Taste is always first — but for us, texture is the gateway.”

Our brownies are all about texture — rich, fudgy, and unforgettable
Dello Mano was born from a moment. In a shared kitchen at a soccer club in Taringa, I turned up the song I Am Woman and baked the first official batch. We believed in creating something that felt generous — almost gifted — just like the artisans we met in Italy.
From those humble beginnings came milestones that shaped our story:
A real newspaper photographer and journalist visiting our little kitchen to run the first Good Food story.
Our first international order — the thrill of knowing our brownies were leaving Australia.
Our children in the kitchen, helping us wrap, pack, and grow something that would become our life’s work.
What began as a small idea became a family-built brand that redefined the brownie in Australia.
