🔥 What a day at the Fully Blown BBQ Festival! 🔥
A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the Taste Merchant stall today. Your support, chats, laughs and love for great flavour means the world to us. We’re incredibly grateful for this amazing community that continues to back local businesses. ❤️
We’d also like to give a huge shoutout to the organisers for putting together such an incredible event. What an amazing thing for Mildura — the atmosphere, the food, the people… it was unreal! 👏
We had an absolute blast and feel so lucky to be part of it.
Bring on the 2027 Fully Blown BBQ Festival! 🔥🍖

🚨 BIG MOVE FOR THE TASTE MERCHANT 🚨
We’re proud to announce that our first run of custom-branded containers, packed with our All Purpose Rub, has officially shipped to Scott’s On Farm Butchery in QLD 🙌
This is exactly what The Taste Merchant is about — helping butchers and food businesses create premium, branded products without the headaches. High-quality rubs, professional packaging, and flavour that keeps customers coming back.
If you’re a butcher, food business, or brand looking to:
✔️ Stand out from the competition
✔️ Add a high-margin product to your range
✔️ Put YOUR name on a proven product
👉 Now is the time.
We offer custom-branded rubs and seasonings ready to go under your label.

Mick and Tania are the heart and soul behind The Taste Merchant.
Between them, they’ve built a big, busy, blended family — a combination of six kids and four grandkids — so feeding people well isn’t just a passion, it’s a way of life. If there’s one thing Mick and Tania know, it’s that good food brings everyone together.
They’re true lovers of the Aussie lifestyle — happiest outdoors, around a fire or a BBQ, surrounded by family and friends. Whether it’s experimenting with flavours, talking food, or enjoying a sneaky beverage or two, life for them is about keeping things simple, honest, and full of flavour.
That love for good times and great food is exactly what inspired The Taste Merchant — bold rubs and salts made to be shared, enjoyed, and talked about long after the plates are cleared.
We look forward to hearing from all of you, your stories, your cooks, and what you’re creating with our flavours. Thanks for being part of the journey — there’s plenty more to come.
