D’Alia’s Fresh Produce is a family business in Rosebud. Fifty years ago, Joe D’Alia and his brother, Laurie, travelled to Rosebud and created D’Alia Brothers. It’s now known as D’Alia’s Fresh Produce, where Mark and Paul D’Alia continue to serve the community with a wide range of fresh produce, grocery items, baked goods and more.

D'Alia’s defies easy categorisation. Striving to meet the needs of people whatever they may wish for, the D’Alia family have continued to evolve and grow the business, most recently with an expanded deli counter and more shelves to accommodate a wider range of grocery items.

At D’Alia’s you really can find almost anything you need for cooking or eating at home. Fresh produce was the original core business, and it is still a key component of the store. It’s always great quality and sourced from farms on the Mornington Peninsula wherever possible. Beautiful colourful cut flower bouquets for sale adorn the pathway as you enter. Inside, along with all the fresh fruit, veggies and herbs, you can also buy freshly squeezed orange juice that really tastes so much better than supermarket varieties.

At the delicatessen you may notice a little of the Continental flair that makes D’Alia’s so unique. It includes a wide range of deli meats, cheeses, antipasto, dips and pate. Lasagne and family pies are made fresh for those days when cooking is a bit of a challenge. At the bakery café you can choose from a wide range of delicious sweet treats that go wonderfully with the coffee you can also buy here. The grocery section of the store has a wide range of pantry items, including pasta, condiments and tinned items. Among local favourites you can also find special European items, such as your favourite San Pellegrino flavours.

D'Alia’s is known for offering great value along with great quality. Weekly specials mean you can always find something to add to the basket that will keep the whole family happy.

Along with the produce, D’Alia’s also includes a garden centre. Shop here for your pots, plants, seedlings and all the things you need to help your garden thrive, such as potting mix, compost and mulch. In winter months you can also grab some firewood to get the fire burning when you head home to enjoy your freshly made meal.

D’Alia’s may have a wide selection of produce at great prices, but it is the welcoming environment and friendly service that really sets D’Alia’s apart. You can tell this is a family-run business that listens to its customers and cares about the community. It may be your one-stop shop for everything you need to stock the kitchen, but if they don’t have what you need, just ask. Chances are they will get it in for you if they can.

Opening hours: Monday-Friday 7am-5.30pm; Saturday 7am-2.30pm
