Our Story
Without doubt these can be traced back to the remote peninsula of Udu Point, the Northeastern most area of Fiji’s 2nd island Vanua Levu, where Eileen was born and raised. It's a beautiful copra plantation by the ocean with a steep 500m ridge rising right at the back of her homestead. Life at this isolated location meant that everything needed to be grown on the land or caught from the sea. Sugar, rice and flour was supplied from an inter-island cargo vessel doing the rounds at 4-8 week intervals whilst collecting Copra. The coastal island lifestyle was all about being very self- sufficient. Cows were milked and butter was churned from the fresh cream separated every day! Homemade jams & jellies from fresh guavas and lemons on freshly baked breads straight out of a wood oven stove was a great pleasure to enjoy! This may explain Bulaccino’s no-compromise approach when it comes to the quality and freshness of food and ingredients, and the reason why we produce whatever possible in-house including our breads and pastries, natural juices, meat patties and sauces. Even the honey comes from the lovely bees on our Bulaccino Garden Farm at Votualevu, near Nadi.
