Margot & Montañez's Sweet Legacy
Right at the heart of our family story lies a legacy of Venezuelan sweetness that spans through generations.
It all started with "la abuela" (grandma) Margot's treasured recipes, meticulously perfected over fifty years. Guided by her unconventional spirit, at Margot & Montañez we honour her beloved traditions while adding a fresh twist.
But let me introduce you to another key player – my father, Montañez. An unstoppable entrepreneur with an insatiable sweet tooth, he's was also the driving force behind Margot & Montañez.

His love for all things sweet ignited the spark that birthed our venture. From him, I learned that chasing dreams is always worth it, no matter how humble your beginnings. Even when the going gets tough, his unwavering determination casts light in the darkest moments.
I'm Jen, and I'm honored to be the founder of Margot & Montañez. Drawing inspiration from both grandma Margot's culinary passion, spreading joy through food and my father's resilience and knack for sweet treats, my journey led me from Venezuela to the UK.

There, I breathed new life into our cherished family recipes, resulting in artisanal creations like our beloved alfajores. These delights earned praise from critics and food enthusiasts, solidifying our dedication.
Now, settled in Australia's foodies heaven, Melbourne, we're keeping this legacy alive and thriving. As a migrant, I'm infusing a blend of cultures and a genuine love for celebration into the Aussie scene.
