I was invited one lunch time this week to visit
Gaganis Bros. Warehouse being told at the time 'it was a great place to pick up a few special things for the pantry'. Well little did I know we were about to visit one of the largest Adelaide based, national distributors, wholesalers, importers and manufacturers of fine food, liquor, food equipment and home wares.
Gaganis Bros Warehouse entrance to the public
Tucked away in the back streets of Hindmarsh one street east of South Road is the
Gaganis 'shed'. Open to the public Monday to Saturday, for bulk (up to 25kg) or retail sized purchases.

On entering the warehouse the home wares and food equipment are the first sections you see, then moving on to the dried spices and herbs, canned, tinned and jared delicacies, all manner of flours, grains, beans and spices. There is a delicatessen section where you can purchase, cheese, small goods, olives and salted fish.
Gaganis manufacture Greek and Turkish coffee blends, gourmet dips and garlic products and all are available for sale in small or larger quantities.
Gaganis Bros warehouse
As an Adelaide based company they promote the fact that they are dedicated to sourcing local products as a matter of priority including Adelaide Hills honey. The products within the warehouse however come from all over the world. Whilst everything looked fantastic I have to say that the deli section looked amazing. The fridges full of fresh yoghurts and cheeses were brilliant and the olive oils and antipasto ingredients were plentiful.

The photos give you some insight into the extent of the gourmet and fine food products in this warehouse but you really have to experience it for yourself to get a real feel for the extent of choice on the shelves.
Enjoy!
