As many as 3600 diamond-shaped pastizzi (crispy, flaky Maltese filled pastries) are made daily at The Original Maltese Pastizzi Co, using a recipe that goes back five generations. And while customers from all kinds of backgrounds typically come for the pastizzi, Melissa says the shop is an important meeting spot for the Maltese diaspora. This video is part of @broadsheet_melb’s limited series with @gardenstatejournal, documenting how Melburnians spend summer in our state.
