Jules Mitry of Balinese Spice Magic has been sustainably cooking up a storm in Wollongong


My relationship with Thirroul’s Flame Tree Food Co-op started some years ago. We started supplying our Tempeh Temple brand in 2015 and then began to supply our spice mixes, turmeric tonic and ready meals in 2020 during the Covid lockdown. All our products are made in our store in Wollongong, using locally grown organic ingredients.

We are very fortunate to be able to source our ingredients locally and organically through local community permaculture gardens and school gardens, as well as our home permaculture garden. We provide seedlings to local schools, families and retirees and they grow beautiful and sustainable produce for us. We buy back what they cannot use for themselves at market value. This has been a great way for us to always ensure we can make our products using the freshest quality products grown with care and love.

We cater for a variety of dietary needs: 95% of our menu is gluten free and 70% is vegan and plant-based with no factory-made ingredients used. We also cater for FODMAP as well as for those who enjoy meat and sustainable seafood.

I believe the meals you nourish yourself with have a big impact on your mental and physical health. This philosophy is what I apply when sourcing my produce, making my product and choosing whom I am willing to work with to spread my products.

We try to provide a good value nourishing product while keeping our sustainability ethos in check. Our tempeh is fermented and wrapped in banana leaves and most of packaging is reusable.
