Our Story
Smallgoodness didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with a simple idea, done properly. A respect for tradition. A love of flavour. And a belief that great smallgoods shouldn’t be rushed, over-processed, or compromised.
Where It All Started
Back in my early twenties, I started making an annual pilgrimage from Brisbane down to Melbourne every year during the long weekend in early June.
Not for a holiday, but for salami.
What began as a chance to catch up with family quickly became something much more. Each year, we’d spend three to four days focused on salami, family, and seriously good food.
Friday night was all about preparation. Cleaning and readying the casings to get everything set.
Saturday started early. 5am at the butcher, grinding fresh pork legs for the day ahead. Then back home, where the real work began.
Twenty pork legs’ worth of mince, mixed by hand with salt, spices, and wine. Taste testing throughout the morning, adjusting as we went, making sure every batch was perfectly balanced.
No shortcuts. No automation. Just hands, instinct, and experience.
We’d spend the day stuffing casings using a hand-wound sausage stuffer, surrounded by family, friends, and a steady flow of coffee. There was always a proper home-made Sicilian lunch in the middle of it all, followed by a few wines in the afternoon, and a big feast to finish the day.
By the end, hundreds of salamis would be hanging in the carport, left to cure slowly over the following weeks in perfect conditions.
A few weeks later, I’d make another trip back down to collect my share and bring it home to Brisbane... that’s where it all started.
Dangerously Snackable! Built for boards... made for cravings.
We make smallgoods with personality.
Handcrafted in small batches using premium 100% Australian free-range pork and old-school know-how.
Slice if up guests, or don't... either way, it's probably not making it to tomorrow!

Small-Batch Salami, Done Properly
At Smallgoodness, we make premium small-batch smallgoods using 100% free-range Australian pork, traditional curing methods, and a no-shortcuts approach that delivers serious flavour in every slice.
Brisbane-based and proudly Australian, we’re focused on one thing.
Doing simple things properly.
Built on Tradition
Smallgoodness didn’t start as a business. It started with a tradition.
Years spent making salami the proper way. Early mornings at the butcher. Fresh pork legs. Hand-mixed batches, balanced by taste, not formula. Casings filled by hand, then left to cure slowly.
Three to four days at a time, focused on salami, family, and seriously good food.
That process never left.
Why Smallgoodness Stands Out
We don’t try to do everything. We focus on doing a few things exceptionally well.
- 100% free-range Australian pork
- Small-batch production for consistency and quality
- Traditional curing methods
- A tight, considered product range
- Gluten-free across the range
No fillers. No shortcuts. Just properly made smallgoods.
Quality Over Quantity. Always.
Our mission is simple.
To create the most flavourful, high-quality artisan smallgoods available in Australia.
We don’t offer a massive range, and that’s intentional. Every product we release has to earn its place.
From our salami to our guanciale, everything is crafted to deliver depth of flavour, consistency, and a product you’ll come back to again and again.
The proof is in the taste.
Made to Be Enjoyed
Whether it’s a simple grazing board, a sandwich done right, or something more elevated, Smallgoodness is about one thing.
Enjoying great food.
We put everything into every batch so you get something that doesn’t just meet expectations, it exceeds them.
Because when it’s done properly, you can taste the difference.
The Simple Pleasure of Good Food
Gluten-free. Full of flavour. Made with care.
No fuss. No compromise.
Just really, really good smallgoods.
