Our Story
Meet Gerald…
After several fast-paced years in Brussels, Gerald returned home to Malta, eager to reconnect with the island’s sun-soaked landscapes and vibrant Mediterranean lifestyle. Driven by a love for the outdoors and a passion for healthy, flavourful food, he immersed himself in cooking with the freshest local ingredients-transforming farmers’ market finds into creative, nourishing dishes.
When winter’s bounty left his garden citrus trees heavy with fruit, Gerald’s commitment to sustainability inspired him to turn abundance into opportunity. He began crafting preserves that capture the essence of Malta’s seasons, earning Gold and Silver at The World’s Original Marmalade Awards for his inventive Gin & Tonic and Seville Orange & Lemon marmalades.
With a passion for sustainability, designing and implementing energy and environmental policies for global corporations, a River Cottage-trained cook and as a certified mental fitness coach at delve.mt, Gerald thrives on helping others discover their best selves.
Today, he’s living his dream: blending family, flavour, and purpose, while inspiring others to live healthier, more vibrant lives.
Meat George…
Meat George, the mastermind behind Gee’s biltong—a new culinary delight that’s about to take your taste buds on a wild adventure! After an academic detour in Ireland, George returned to Malta, presumably with a suitcase full of dreams and a few questionable souvenirs.
His next big move? Joining the UM Wolves rugby team, where he met South African head coach Keenen Kleinsmith. Little did he know, this encounter would lead him down a flavourful rabbit hole into the world of biltong! With Keenen as his culinary coach, George traded in his rugby ball for a spice rack and embarked on an epic journey of South African biltong preparation.
After a few kitchen sessions filled with laughter and mishaps, George emerged with a recipe that combines traditional biltong techniques with a Maltese twist. Think of it as the love child of rugby and gourmet cooking—who knew tackling meat could be so delicious?
So get ready to snack on some of the finest biltong around, crafted by George, who proves that sometimes the best ideas come from unexpected places—like the rugby pitch!
