#14: Pierre Issa (Pepe) and Melissa Altman, Pepe Saya Buttery (NSW)

Like never before, where we put our food dollars really matters and has a direct and immediate impact on those who make it, their staff and their families. It’s why Pierre Issa (Pepe) and Melissa Altman, of the Pepe Saya Buttery, wanted to establish Aussie Artisan week to draw attention to the best artisan food makers in the county and it’s happening right now. From Monday 17th - Sunday 23rd August, no matter where you get your food, cheese, wine or produce, take a moment, check yourself and just think about not just where you food is from but the people who made it and the impact your purchase has. Your support goes a long way. Aussie Artisan week aside, the story of Pepe Saya is an inspiring one. It's a story of how having the belief, drive, and resilience in your product and your craft, can quite literally change the way people see an entire category. Like so many of us, Covid has put a massive amount of pressure on them but as they say, it was an opportunity to take a moment and remember what is truly important. That great quality, artisan products … especially butter … is everything. —————— For more information on #AussieArtisanWeek click the link below https://pepesaya.com.au/pages/aussie-artisan-week-aug-17-23
