Venue 3: Nutworks

From humble beginnings in the Noosa hinterland in 1993, Nutworks has evolved to be Australia’s local premium supplier and exporter of Australian Macadamia nuts.

 

The luxurious, creamy, premium macadamia nuts are at the heart of all Nutworks products.

Utilising special machinery to harvest the nuts once they’ve fallen off the trees, the outside husks are removed from the nuts before shipping out the raw material to Nutworks for processing. 

 

Why visit:

Sample some delicious flavoured macadamia nuts, discover their Chef's Pantry range of gourmet ingredients, and visit the viewing room to see how some macadamias get their delicious chocolate coating.
