Wholesale Paperbark (Melaleuca) Australia

Paperbark is the outer bark of certain Australian Melaleuca species and has been used in Australia for generations. Its naturally layered structure makes it well suited to wrapping foods during cooking, while its distinctive appearance has also made it popular for presentation, smoking applications and native food experiences.

Unlike manufactured wraps and presentation materials, every sheet of paperbark is different. Variations in colour, texture, thickness and layering are a natural feature of the product and part of what makes it appealing to chefs, caterers and product developers looking to create an authentic connection to Australian native ingredients.

At Bushfood Farms Australia, our interest in paperbark comes from a broader passion for Australian native species and their practical uses. We see paperbark as more than simply a wrapping material. It is one of many Australian native resources that connects food, landscape and culture and remains highly relevant in modern hospitality and food production.

• 250g packs 
• 1kg packs

Larger quantities are available.

The 250g format is popular with chefs, caterers and businesses trialing paperbark for the first time, while 1kg packs suit regular users and restaurants incorporating paperbark into their menus.
