Brunetti Oro Launches Vegan and Gluten-Free Cake Range for Melbourne's Sweet Lovers
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - July 2, 2025 - Brunetti Oro, the iconic name synonymous with Melbourne's Italian café culture, has recently taken a bold step into inclusive indulgence with its new vegan and gluten-free dessert range. This launch marks a move that celebrates both tradition and modern dietary preferences. The reputed pasticceria has introduced an exquisite selection of cakes and gelati that cater to plant-based and gluten-intolerant food lovers, who no longer have to compromise on flavour, texture, or elegance.
Suppose you are among those embracing a plant-based lifestyle, undergoing dietary restrictions, or simply seeking a delicious twist on classic favourites. In that case, Brunetti Oro now offers more ways than ever to indulge. The updated menu features a thoughtfully curated collection of new items, including handcrafted vegan gelato cakes, such as the rich and nutty Vegan Pistacchiola, the decadent Vegan Chococonut, and the refreshing Vegan Fragola al Limone. Each dessert is carefully developed by Brunetti's master pastry chefs to deliver a true Italian experience, minus the dairy and gluten.
For those who prefer their indulgences flourless, Brunetti Oro now offers gluten-free renditions of beloved Italian staples. Highlights include the Torta Caprese, a sumptuous chocolate and almond cake hailing from the island of Capri, and the silky, deeply flavoured Chocolate Soufflé. Both are crafted with meticulous care to honour their traditional recipes, while offering a safe and satisfying experience for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
'We've always believed that food is for everyone, and now our menu truly reflects that,' said Yuri Angele, Owner of Brunetti Oro. 'By introducing more vegan and gluten-free options, we're hoping to embrace the diversity of our customers and make sure no one has to miss out on the flavours, textures, and memories that define Brunetti.'
The menu update goes well beyond desserts. Brunetti Oro is also bringing inclusivity to its savoury selection, with new plant-based and gluten-friendly options designed to satisfy all palates. Vegan cheese is now available on a variety of pizzas and pastas, and gluten-free gnocchi can be substituted in most pasta dishes, creating a seamless dining experience for those with dietary preferences or restrictions. The menu is a celebration of flavour, tradition, and innovation, ranging from a creamy vegan carbonara to a vibrant Margherita pizza topped with plant-based mozzarella.
The expansion arrives at a time when more Australians are looking for inclusive dining experiences that align with their lifestyles. According to recent data from IBISWorld, the demand for vegan and gluten-free products continues to rise steadily across Australia, particularly among Gen Z and Millennial consumers who are driving a shift toward more health-conscious and ethically minded eating habits.
Brunetti Oro's new menu directly responds to this evolving demand, proving that dietary consideration and indulgence can and should go hand in hand. Whether customers are long-time patrons or first-time visitors, the experience promises to be as warm and delicious as ever.

Italy OKs Vatican plan to turn Rome field into solar farm to meet Vatican City's electricity needs
ROME (AP) — Italy agreed Thursday to a Vatican plan to turn a 430-hectare (1,000-acre) field north of Rome, once the source of controversy between the two, into a vast solar farm that will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of Vatican City and turn it into the world's first carbon-neutral state. The Vatican foreign minister, Archbishop Paul Gallagher, signed the agreement with Italy's ambassador to the Holy See, Francesco Di Nitto. The Italian parliament must approve the arrangement, since the territory enjoys extraterritorial status that must be extended.

Canada says Australia has re-opened market access for beef, beef products
Social Sharing Australia has lifted a 22-year-old ban on the import of Canadian beef and beef products, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said on Tuesday, a move that brings relief to farmers but is unlikely to spur major new sales. Australia imposed import restrictions on Canadian beef in 2003, following the discovery of Canada's first domestic case of mad cow disease. It lifted a similar ban on U.S. beef imports last week. Canada's government celebrated the long-awaited resumption of access to the Australian market. "With restored access to Australia, a key market in the Indo-Pacific, we can unlock more opportunities for our producers to deliver the top-quality beef we're known for," said federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald. WATCH | Canadian beef imports will no longer be banned in Australia for the first time in more than two decade: Canadian beef back on the menu in Australia after 22-year ban 12 hours ago Australia has lifted its ban on imports of Canadian beef products, a trade restriction introduced in 2003 when an Alberta-born cow first tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy or mad cow disease. Analysts are skeptical about how much North American beef can be exported to Australia because the U.S. has a major deficit and is importing beef from Australia, Canada and other suppliers. "U.S. beef is still very highly priced compared to Australian beef," said Resilient Capital analyst Jerry Klassen. "North American beef is really the highest-priced in the world." The Canadian Cattle Association, which represents farmers and feedlots that raise cattle, celebrated the Australian market reopening, saying in a news release it was one of the last remaining countries to have maintained mad cow disease restrictions on Canadian beef. Canada's cattle ranchers were devastated by the 2003 restrictions placed upon Canadian beef exports because much of the country's beef production is exported, especially to the U.S. Ranchers celebrating market opening Beef producers in Canada are celebrating the decision, even among cattle ranchers like Charlie Christie, who won't be directly sending his products to Australia. "Any time you take more beef in a market, you're affecting everybody. So it'll raise all boats so to speak," said Christie. "When you're taking beef out of the supply chain and sending it elsewhere, that opens up opportunity for all other types of production as well." Christie added that any good news for the industry gives him optimism for the future of his business. While the ripple effect of the Australian market opening up may not mean dramatic improvements for Canada's beef industry, Canadian Cattle Association general manager Ryder Lee said it's still a positive sign.
