The Meat Room

Owner, James Mele, is passionate about meat, and loves to travel to meet farmers, producers and fellow foodies. 

James is fanatical about traditional Italian food. Many an hour has been spent with his extended family learning the art of salami and sausage making as well mastering passata, pizza and winemaking. James’s passion and dedication to his craft has seen our Fennel Salami and Zingara Salami awarded Silver Medals at the Australian Food Awards 2019.

James constantly seeks to master and build on his skills, whilst also striving to innovate. He frequently travels both locally and internationally to Italian food festivals to uncover new ways of preserving, preparing and cooking.

James is passionate about sharing his knowledge. Throughout the year The Meat Room presents a number of classes so that you and your friends can learn and master skills in Italian traditions.
