A History of Tradition
Growing up in Calabria, Salvatore Pepe’s daily life was steeped in the long culinary traditions of Southern Italy. His father would think nothing of walking miles to a neighbouring village to buy the best fish and the bread, pasta and wine that graced the tables of family and friends was always home made. Those memories have been transplanted into his attitude to food here in Australia – it’s always worth taking a little extra time to produce something special to share with your family.
Pasta Pepe now makes it possible for you to enjoy the deep and enduring traditions of the Italian kitchen in your own home. Buon appetito!
