Since 1947, DON® has been synonymous with ham, bacon and smallgoods across Australia. Founded by Australian butcher R.J. Gilbertson, DON began in a small Essendon store, producing processed meats inspired by the traditional European curing methods of smallgoods. Today, DON is one of Australia’s largest smallgoods manufacturers, producing ham, bacon, salami, franks and continental smallgoods from its Castlemaine site in Victoria.
