From the harvest and sorting, through roasting and winnowing, to grinding and pouring - every bar of our chocolate takes almost a week to make and it’s all done in our factory in Cremorne. We start with small samples and explore the characteristics of each batch before developing a new variety of chocolate. See how the process unfolds below.
Pepe Saya Butter was born to bring quality, artisanal butter back to Australia. In 2010, founder Pierre Issa (Pepe) began his journey by making cultured butter, a traditional European method. What makes Pepe Saya special is their dedication to the process: they use fresh, single-origin cream from pasture-fed cows, which is cultured for a unique, tangy flavour profile.
After churning, the butter is hand-kneaded and moulded, ensuring a creamy texture. Pepe Saya is known for its superior taste and quality, elevating the culinary experience and demonstrating that Australian butter can rival the best in the world. We take their butter and transform it into a nutty, deep-flavoured brown butter, which adds a nutty, caramel flavour to the chocolate.
