Our story

How a craving became a tiny market in Hobart

Sabor Austral Market was born from homesickness and a lot of mate. We're two Latin Americans who moved to Hobart and quickly discovered a serious problem: you can't fix homesickness with just Vegemite and Tim Tams.

One winter afternoon we realised we had spent more time hunting for yerba, alfajores and Don Satur than exploring Tasmania. Every time we found something, we sent photos to friends: "Look! Actual dulce de leche!" That's when the idea landed: if we're doing food scouting anyway… why not turn it into a small business?

Sabor Austral Market is our answer to that craving. A tiny home-based store in Hobart, bringing real Latin American flavours — yerba mate, sweets, biscuits and snacks — to our neighbours here in Tasmania.

We work with local importers and only sell pre-packaged, shelf-stable products. No secret factory, no Sunday lunch at grandma's just around the corner — just two migrants in Hobart carefully packing boxes and hoping they make your day a little warmer.

If it tastes like home, it probably belongs at Sabor Austral.
