The story
Three months ago, MasterChef asked.
An email landed in the inbox: would Orchard Valley like to be part of the new 2026 season of MasterChef Australia? We said yes the same day, and started loading the van with the same Australian almonds we've been packing by hand since 1975.
It's been brilliant watching contestants reach for our products on screen — the same nuts, the same flaked and meal we've made for fifty years, used in dishes that impress the judges.
So we thought we'd give you the same starting point.
