Our History
Our history in the catering industry dates back four generations. It all started when Xmun Borg our great grandfather started his own business in the 1930’s in the Manderaggio, Valletta. It was a period where all the great bakers started from. He started in making ´pastizzi` a local traditional delicacy and confection items.
After some years in business the Second World War took off. It was one of the hardest times for everyone and his children. Post war Xmun Borg moved back to the Manderaggio to continue doing what he always wanted. However after some time he had to move to Strada San Marco as the government of that time wanted to reconstruct the Manderaggio.
In Strada San Marco he expanded his business together with his sons and continued his passion for baking and confection. It wasn’t long after they started to be known for their genuine products and felt the necessity to move into an even larger premise in Republic Street. Consequently he became one of the leaders at that time in big catering events, with two to three weddings per week.
Carmelo Borg one of his sons inherited this art of baking and confection and continued to develop it over time when he left his father and joined the Navy. During those times he fell in love with our grandmother and wasn’t long after he got married and started to work with Emmanuel Cachia her father, where he expanded and developed her father’s business.
They had four children where their elder son being Ronald Borg. He was born and raised in an environment surrounded by pastries, confections, food and ice-cream. From a very tender age he was helping out his father and like his father he inherited this art and passion for baking and confection, whilst perfecting it within the years. After 25 years working with his father he went to specialise into Ice cream for further 10 years, gaining several experience in different levels within the industry.
