So chuffed!

A teaspoon of kefir grains packed in my suitcase from South Africa to Italy. In less than a month, they have grown to 4 tablespoons and producing just under 2 litres of kefir, which lasts us about 2-3 days. Hoping to start some soft cheeses once more grains have grown!

Hello Butter Lovers,

It’s been a while since our last post, and I wanted to share some personal and professional updates with you.

Over the past year, life brought unexpected and transformative changes. As many of you know, The Butter Lady has always been a small, family-run business. When my husband (aka The Butter Lady’s trusted delivery driver!) was offered an incredible opportunity, we made the big decision to move to Italy. Part of the family has already gone, and I’ll be joining them in 2026.
In the meantime, I’ve had to pivot and re-enter the corporate world, navigating a new chapter. Living apart hasn’t been easy, but we’re taking it one day at a time.

With these changes, The Butter Lady has only been servicing a few long-time clients: Homegrown Foods, Hope Meats & Deli, and Circus Circus Gateway. I’m deeply grateful for their continued support.
To the chefs, restaurant owners, additional clients, and everyone who welcomed and championed my products — thank you. Your belief in my craft will forever be ingrained in my heart.
To our customers, friends, and fellow butter lovers — your support has meant everything.
To my family, thank you for believing in me. And to my late father — your spirit lives in every part of this business. This journey began with you, and your inspiration guides me still.
While this chapter is evolving, I carry the dream that The Butter Lady will continue in some shape or form when I’m settled in Italy. Butter has always been more than a product — it’s been a connection and a story.

My last day of production is 31 December 2025, with Homegrown Foods and Hope Meats & Deli stocked into January.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey.

With love,
The Butter Lady
Natasha Pieri 💛
