At Dello Mano, we believe the best brownies aren’t mass-produced — they’re handmade with heart, heritage, and the world’s finest ingredients.
Since 2006, we’ve been proud to pioneer the luxury brownie movement here in Australia, creating what many now call the best brownies in Australia.


How Our Luxury Brownie Journey Began

When we first launched Dello Mano, brownies were often an overlooked treat.
But we had a different vision — we believed a brownie could be something truly special: luxurious, handmade, and unforgettable.

Dello Mano Classic Luxury Brownie — handmade in Brisbane since 2006.
The brownie that started it all. Handmade with premium Belgian chocolate and timeless care since 2006.

With a background in food science, marketing, and a deep love of great food, we set out to create a brownie unlike anything Australians had seen before.
From a humble farmers' market stall in Brisbane, our small-batch brownies quickly found a place in the hearts (and hands) of chocolate lovers across the country.


What Makes Dello Mano Brownies Australia’s Best?

🍫 Premium Belgian Chocolate
We start with the finest Belgian chocolate, known for its deep, rich flavour and smoothness.

🧈 Real Butter and Premium Ingredients
We never compromise. Using real butter, fresh eggs, and carefully sourced natural ingredients, we craft brownies that are rich, indulgent, and deeply satisfying.

👩🍳 Handmade in Small Batches
Every batch is mixed, baked, and finished by hand — never mass-produced.
It’s the human touch that makes every bite special.

🎁 Elegant Gift Presentation
Our brownies are more than a treat — they’re a luxury gift experience. From our signature gold gift boxes to bespoke corporate gifting, every detail is thoughtfully designed.

🌟 Trusted by Icons and Luxury Brands
Over the years, we've been honoured to see our brownies enjoyed by celebrities, food lovers, and prestigious brands like Cartier, Jaguar, and Marriott Hotels — a testament to the care and quality we put into everything we do.

How We Pioneered the Brownie Gift Movement in Australia

When we first started offering brownies as gifts, the idea was almost unheard of.
Today, gifting brownies has become a tradition — but back then, we were driven by the belief that a handmade brownie could express gratitude, celebration, and care like no other gift.

Whether it’s a birthday, a thank-you, a corporate event, or simply a thoughtful gesture, our brownies have helped turn everyday moments into beautiful memories.

A Family Business with a Handmade Heart

Dello Mano has always been a family business — and nearly two decades later, that’s still who we are.

We’re hands-on every day, working side by side with our team, making sure that every brownie reflects our original vision of quality, authenticity, and handmade care.

When you choose Dello Mano, you’re not just enjoying Australia’s best brownies — you’re sharing in a story of passion, perseverance, and love for handmade food.


Why Handmade Still Matters to Us

In a world of fast fixes and mass production, we believe handmade food is the true new luxury.
It’s not about shortcuts — it’s about time, patience, and pride in the process.

At Dello Mano, every brownie is a reflection of our belief that luxury isn’t about excess — it’s about connection, craft, and care.
