Dispensa

 
 

dispensa

Our dispensa is more than just a pantry full of products; it's a repository of stories, people, places, values, traditions, and ideas. 

Some of the items in the pantry are personal favorites of the team, while others were brought to the studio by collaborators, friends, guests, or even producers themselves. 

Our selection process goes beyond taste and quality, seeking out companies that resonate with our philosophy and values. We prioritize products crafted with environmentally and socially conscious methods, ensuring respect for both the environment and the people involved.

Guests in the studio can then try our selection, listen to the stories, and learn about the producers. 

Through our dispensa, we aim to share with the entire community the opportunity to discover these stories. 

 
 

Jam Haus

On a recent trip to Melbourne, Michael had the pleasure of discovering a small, independent brand of jams and marmalades that truly stands out. These exquisite preserves are homemade by Jesse Clarke, a passionate artisan whose dedication to her craft is evident in every jar. Jesse used to work at Monforte, a tiny patisserie in Carlton North where Michael loves to have breakfast and where he met Jesse for the first time.

 
 
 
 
 
 

What makes Jesse's jams and marmalades particularly special are the unique and delicious flavors she creates, often incorporating local and native Australian ingredients.

We’re proud to add these jewels to our Dispensa, bringing a touch of Melbourne to our pantry.

 
 

It was a privilege to visit her and film and photograph the creation process of a delightful cherry and verbena jam in her beautiful kitchen in Seaford. Her meticulous approach is truly captivating. One of our favorites is the Summer Pavlova, made with the most delicious seasonal strawberries, which pairs perfectly with peanut butter on toast.

Jesse's jams and marmalades are a celebration of carefully selected ingredients at their peak ripeness to ensure the highest quality. She even makes her own pectin, ensuring that every aspect of her jam-making process is entirely natural. Her hands-on approach extends to every element of production, with Jesse herself designing the labels that adorn each jar.
