In what can only be termed an absolute career highlight, I was recently treated to a behind the scenes tour at Arnott’s Huntingwood factory in western Sydney.
The hairnet, the high vis, and the lab coat were all worth it for an inside glimpse into how some of our most favourite, even treasured, biscuits are made.

Some statistics to astound you await you in this glorious testament to how much I love food and how it is made. Here’s one to entice you: at Huntingwood alone (there are two other facilities in Queensland and Adelaide), Arnott’s produces 54 million kilograms of biscuits a year.
