Our Story

Meet Dom

The face (and hands) behind The Mulberry Pig — born and professionally trained in the UK, now based in Perth, WA.

This preserving journey started from a love of a good sandwich, making things from scratch and a lacking of flavour in the condiments currently on the market.

During the pandemic lockdowns, like so many people, we started testing recipes — starting with our smoked onion marmalade, piccalilli and spiced plum butter. They were handed around to friends to try, and soon they were back for more. After a few tweaks, the recipes were down pat. We just needed to find a name that felt right.

With our favourite animal being a pig — also the king of the cured meat world — and having recently moved into a new home with a beautiful mulberry tree in the back yard (which, unfortunately, never yielded more than a handful of mulberries)...

So, The Mulberry Pig was born. Nonsensical by name, but close to our heart by nature.

As our range has grown from those first three recipes — smoked onion marmalade, piccalilli and spiced plum butter — to now include jams, marmalades, chutneys, relishes, pickles, fruit pastes and hot sauces, our focus hasn't changed: local produce and top-notch ingredients, still creating small batch, handmade condiments that are big on flavour. Good for breakfast, lunch and dinner — and perfect on a good sandwich.

Since starting out we've had 5 core pillars that focused and guided our decisions,
