Brilliant Food Australia

What Brilliant Food Australia does

Brilliant Food Australia Pty Ltd is a Sydney-based specialty food company founded in 2005 that produces premium smoked seafood using traditional European fish smoking methods adapted for Australian ingredients, principally Tasmanian-sourced Atlantic salmon and ocean trout. The core product line centres on hot- and cold-smoked salmon and ocean trout (Wood Smoked Salmon, Cold Smoked Salmon, Smoked Ocean Trout, Ocean Trout Gravlax), complemented by spreads and dips (rillettes, smoked salmon spread, mackerel and barramundi dips), prepared foods (fish pies, fish cakes, seafood chowder, smoked trout/salmon sausages), and accompaniments (pickled onions, wasabi cream). The company operates an exclusively wholesale go-to-market model, supplying approximately 50+ independent retailers including Harris Farm Markets, gourmet providores, and fine dining restaurants and five-star hotels across New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia. Products are HACCP-certified, 100% Australian-made, gluten-free, and marketed on the basis of multiple Sydney Royal Fine Food Show and Mudgee Fine Food Awards between 2010 and 2014.

Revenue is generated through unit-priced wholesale sales with publicly listed retail pricing (e.g., Wood Smoked Salmon 190g at A$30, 1.3kg at A$208) and negotiated wholesale pricing for B2B partners under multi-year arrangements. In November 2025, Brilliant Food entered a contract manufacturing partnership with Pure Foods Tasmania (ASX: PFT) at PFT's Woodbridge Smokehouse facility in southern Tasmania, including a A$100,000 placement. In April 2026, Pure Foods Tasmania completed the acquisition of Brilliant Food Australia for A$300,000 via an all-scrip transaction (7.5 million shares at A$0.04/share), converting the contract manufacturing arrangement into full product ownership and adding approximately A$1.3 million in annual revenue to PFT's FY25 base. Post-acquisition, the Brilliant Food product range is distributed nationally through the Woodbridge Smokehouse network.
