Candy Abalone

Candy Abalone produces some of the finest dried abalone in the world, harvested from the pristine waters of southern Australia. Each abalone is individually hand-collected by skilled divers who carefully measure their catch to ensure it meets strict sustainability standards. Once harvested, the abalone are shucked, washed, and prepared for a traditional drying process that uses nothing more than the pure Tasmanian sun and clean island air. This slow, natural method develops the prized “candy heart,” a hallmark of Candy Abalone’s reputation for excellence.

Tasmania’s unspoiled marine environment provides the perfect foundation for creating these premium products, and Candy Abalone has become renowned globally for their completely organic, dried abalone. More than just a producer, they also offer a unique visitor experience. Located just minutes from Hobart Airport along the Tasman Highway, Candy Abalone invites guests to tour their facilities, learn about the history of abalone diving in Tasmania, and see firsthand how this delicacy is crafted.
Visitors can also enjoy combined tours with nearby Barilla Bay Oysters for an unforgettable culinary journey. Onsite, there is a shop featuring Candy Abalone products and other Tasmanian delicacies, along with a café and a la carte restaurant. Tastings and bespoke tours are available by booking, making Candy Abalone an essential stop for food lovers travelling through Tasmania
