The history and origin of OUMA in South Africa

Ouma products have been a beloved part of South African heritage since the brand's inception in 1939. Originating in the small town of Molteno in the Eastern Cape, Ouma was founded by Ouma Greyvensteyn, who started baking rusks as a way to support her family during the difficult times of the Great Depression. Her homemade rusks quickly became popular in the community, leading to the establishment of a small bakery. The brand's name, "Ouma," meaning "grandmother" in Afrikaans, reflects the warmth and tradition associated with these delicious, hand-baked rusks.

Over the decades, Ouma rusks have become a staple in South African homes, cherished for their authentic taste and crunchy texture. Passed down through generations, Ouma's original recipe remains largely unchanged, continuing to deliver the comforting flavor that South Africans have grown to love. Today, Ouma offers a variety of rusk flavors and remains the go-to brand for those seeking a taste of tradition with their morning coffee or tea, embodying the spirit of home and family in every bite.
