A Victorian bakery’s pies have been named the best in Australia for the fourth time.

The Country Cob Bakery, which has stores in Kyneton and Boronia, took out five national titles and 14 gold medals at the annual Australia’s Best Pie & Pastie Competition in Sydney last week.

The five titles included Australia’s Best Plain Meat Pie (the fourth time it has won the title); Australia’s Best Vegetarian / Vegan Pie; Australia’s Best Mushroom Pie; Australia’s Best Beef Flavour Pie and Australia’s Best Apprentice Meat pie.

The bakery’s amazing range of pies were recognised with gold medals, including the fish amok; Cambodian sour beef; caramelised pork and pepper; satay seafood; beef rendang; curry scallop; curry cauliflower; cheesy vegie; pepper beef; plain beef; mushroom ragu; mince and cheese; and chicken biryani.

Co-owner Ryan Khun said Country Cob took out the most gold medals and national titles of any bakery in Australia at this year’s competition.

“Our most popular pie is still the plain beef pie and we sell around 2000 pies each week at both stores (in Kyneton and Boronia),” he said.

“I think using premium quality ingredients with a lot of hard work, creativity, passion and love in pie making, this makes our pies so delicious and unique.”

The bakeries are still open for takeaway and home delivery across Melbourne and some regional cities during Victoria’s lockdown.

And in good news for pie fans, the bakery is also opening at a new location in Springvale,

at 890-892 Princes Highway, on June 11.
