Meet Brendan from Gamze Smokehouse - Victoria, Australia

Vocal About Local

Gamze Smokehouse, is a family owned and operated business in Wangaratta, Victoria that has a passion for good quality and locally made food.
Originally from Slovenia, Felix Gamze opened a retail butchers shop back in 1986 where he developed a love for creating small goods - With his Eastern European heritage and being surrounded by the magnificent food bowl that is North East Victoria it was a match made in heaven.
Over the past 35+ years Gamze' Smokehouse has gone from strength to strength, graduating from a retail butcher shop to a state of the art small goods facility at the end of 2014. In recent times, Gamze Smokehouse products have become available in over 180 retail outlets and cafes across the east coast of Australia as well as being able to be sourced online and at farmers markets.

With Felix rightfully spending more time on the golf course and out fishing, the 2nd Generation of Gamze' are at the helm of the smokehouse. We chat with Brendan Gamze, current CEO who talks to us about the multi generational relationships he has with the producers he works closely with and how his products are all naturally cured, with no artificial nitrites used in the small goods being made.
