Our Story

Three generations, one block.

Mathew is a third-generation butcher, following his father David and grandfather Nicolas. He grew up perched on the old butcher's block out the back of his father's shop, watching his grandfather's famous Maltese sausages and the sweet blood sausage, Mazzit, both still made by hand today.
