Luxury isn’t always glitz and glimmer. Sometimes, it’s quiet. Hidden in the folds of a hand-mixed batter. Found in a team that refuses to take shortcuts. Felt in the moment someone opens a box and pauses, just for a second, to smile.
At Dello Mano, luxury isn’t a price point — it’s a value. One we’ve built our brownies around since 2006. Not with flashy labels, but with depth, care, and flavour that lingers long after the last bite.
For us, luxury begins in the kitchen, not with machines, but with people. Our brownies are mixed and poured by hand. Not because it’s efficient, but because it’s right. And because we believe true luxury lives in the things made by hand — in the creativity, the art, the humanity that gives food meaning.
We’ve seen it in patisseries across Paris, in the winding chocolate kitchens of Lyon’s Maison Bernachon — and we see it in our own Brisbane kitchen every day. Across cultures and continents, the artisans are the same. Driven by the pursuit of beauty and taste. Anchored by pride. Handmade, we’ve come to realise, is a universal voice — and it speaks of care.
“Luxury is time taken to enjoy the moment. It’s the decision to care. That’s what we build into every brownie.”
— Deborah Peralta, Co-founder
This story is part of our handmade philosophy — discover why we believe handmade food is the future of true luxury.
We didn’t set out to make the cheapest brownie. Or the fastest. We set out to make it great. So we jampacked it with Belgian chocolate. Chose real butter. Balanced it with eggs, nuts, and ingredients we knew would give it soul.
In our kitchen, small details matter:
That’s what makes it luxury. Not the appearance, but the depth. The decision to never compromise — even when no one’s watching.
We often talk about layers of flavour — but luxury has emotional layers too.

Our customers know this difference. Many have been with us for years — not just because of the product, but because of what it stands for. Handmade is not just how it’s made. It’s a belief system.That’spartofwhyDelloManohasearnedaplaceamongAustralia’smosticonichandmadechocolategifts —areputationbuiltoverdecadesofstayingtruetoourvalues.
Honey Caramelised Macadamia Luxury Brownie by Dello Mano
Most of our brownies are sent as gifts. And with every one comes a responsibility: not just to deliver the product, but to deliver someone’s love, thanks, or celebration.
“This isn’t just a brownie business. It’s a business underpinned by emotion.”
— Deborah Peralta
A mother sending love to her daughter in Sydney. A friend cheering up another across town. A team thanking a client with something thoughtful, elegant, and delicious.
Every gift carries two people’s happiness — the giver’s and the receiver’s. That’s why we have to get it right. Every time.
Some people assume scale means success. We’ve always seen it differently. Staying small — in batches, in decisions, in culture — has been a way to stay true.
Our kitchen hums with purpose. Quietly. Intentionally. And our team doesn’t skip steps or look for faster ways. They fold. Pour. Test. Taste. Commit.
And if something doesn’t meet our standards? It doesn’t go out.
Luxury, as we’ve come to define it, is the human decision to make something meaningful. To bring beauty, flavour, and generosity into the world — when it would be easier not to.
That’s the kind of luxury we believe in.
And you’ll taste it — not just in the brownie, but in the moment it gives.
A luxurious brownie isn’t defined by price or packaging — it’s about depth of flavour, premium ingredients like Belgian chocolate and real butter, and the care taken during every step of the process. At Dello Mano, we hand-make every brownie in small batches, prioritising taste and texture over speed.
Handmade brownies are mixed, folded, and baked with precision — not automated processes. At Dello Mano, we fold chocolate into eggs by hand and taste each batch, ensuring the final texture and richness can’t be matched by factory-made alternatives.
Yes — Belgian chocolate is known for its smooth texture, rich cocoa flavour, and premium quality. Using it in brownies enhances the overall taste and mouthfeel, giving a more indulgent and luxurious experience.
Luxury brownies often use higher-quality ingredients, are made in small batches, and focus on exceptional taste. Dello Mano brownies, for example, offer a richer, more memorable experience — especially when gifting or celebrating a special moment.
Small batch brownies are crafted with care and often handmade, allowing for better ingredient control and flavour. Mass-produced brownies prioritise speed and shelf life, which can sacrifice taste and texture.
