At Byron Bay Cookie
Company, cookies are our life.
Returning to
Australia after 6 years in New York founders' Maggi Miles and
Gary Lines drove up the East coast until they found idyllic
Byron Bay. After years of working in the fashion industry in
Australia and USA the couple started baking for the local
markets under the name Pickles, Pies and Petticoats whilst
considering their next business venture.
Using
the old farmhouse stove in her country cottage, Maggi
experimented with ingredients to create a white choc chunk and
macadamia cookie and triple choc fudge cookie which are still
the company's top selling cookies today.
Demand from
local cafe to supply cookies meant the couple had in fact
already created their next business venture and a contract to
supply department store Myer nationally confirmed this.
With customers
insisting on calling the products those cookies from Byron Bay
the company name officially changed to Byron Bay Cookie Company
in the late 1990s.
With hundreds
of thousands of cookies baked weekly Byron Bay Cookie Company
now supply cafe gourmet food stores nationally as well David
Jones, Qantas, Virgin Blue and Rex Airlines nationally, Harvey
Nichols, Selfridges, John Lewis and the Windsor Farm Shop in the
UK as well as department stores in Singapore and Ireland.
In
September 2004 Byron Bay Cookie Company launched its gourmet
savoury collection. Inspired by the
world's ancient cuisines the range blends the most exotic spices
and herbs for a unique sensory experience. Wholesome crispy
Flatbreads, Breadsticks, Parmesan Crackers and Polenta Crisps in
convenient take home packs.
Over the years
the company has stayed true to its artisan baking methods, using
quality ingredients to create a unique product for pure
indulgence. Gary and Maggi are still actively involved in the
business today.
The Byron Bay
Cookie Company is HACCP accredited and won the NSW Telstra Small
