UNDER THE PICKLE TREE is a boutique producer of Asian-inspired pickles, relishes, curry pastes, marinades and salad dressings. The range is sold direct by mail order and locally in Nillumbik Shire. The product range pays homage to age-old pickling traditions inherited from grandparents and truly unique recipes inspired by proprietor Kelly Meredith's time living and working in Thailand and Vietnam.

EVERY UNDER THE PICKLE TREE JAR is handmade in small batches in rural Panton Hill at a council-registered kitchen. All products have been batch tested for shelf life at Food Laboratories in Abbotsford - with citric acid the only preservative. The small volume means the products are never more than six months old when purchased. Kelly travels regularly to Thailand to update her cooking and curry paste making skills.
