Yaakov Moshe (Jacob) Unfanger, was born in Sydney, Australia and spent his youth in Israel. When he moved back to Australia with his wife and growing family, he saw the need for a kosher butcher business to serve the flourishing Jewish community in Melbourne. In 1978, he bought the Kew Kosher Butchers which became the first kosher butcher store in Australia to offer fresh meat, chicken, and veal in a display case.
In the mid 80's, Yaakov Moshe closed Kew Kosher Butchers and bought the Melbourne Kosher Butcher store in Balaclava where in addition to the poultry, beef, and lamb, he started producing his own cold cuts and sausages. He expanded his business and moved into a bigger store several years later. This new and current location is 251 Inkerman Street, St. Kilda, Melbourne.

Every animal comes with spare ribs, we have veal south Africa, beef south African, lamb ribs and chicken ribs. The red juice that comes out of any meat or chicken is called myoglobin. Its when the protein loses the ability to hold onto water and it releases a red/pinkish liquid. It's totally normal and perfectly fine to use.

Excellent meat. Same quality as organic. My first time shopping the owner told me that the chicken must be cooked or go into the freezer within 24 hours. The sausages and meat pies are made on site. When my new husband told me that he was eating their sausage rolls, I told him he had to stop because of chemical additives. But when I read the ingredients I saw that all of their products are the same as homemade.
