Elizabeth Ann Greyvenstein from the homestead Friedenham, known as Ouma Nannie, pulled out a family formula for rusks, and approached preparing a clump. She at that point sold them at the following Church bazaar, and inside minutes, the scrumptious rusks were gobbled up by excited customers, and that is the point at which the requests began pouring in.
Not long after from that point forward, Ouma Nannie's rusks were accessible at the different network social events and wearing occasions. Her Son keenly observed the chance to test the interest for his Mom's delicacy, and went on a national excursion, taking the rusks with him and advancing them. He came back with heaps of requests, and approached transforming the family horse shelter into a rusk manufacturing plant, furnishing it with home-made rusk dryers and dirt stoves
Nannie first sold her rusks under the brand Uitspan, at that point Outspan. In the long run they progressed toward becoming Ouma Rusks. In the long run they progressed toward becoming Ouma Rusks. At the point when the Greyvensteyns required greater premises, Ouma Nannie connected for a credit of R3 000 from the recently made Industrial Development Corporation. Her significant other was very much regarded, and progressed toward becoming leader of Molteno for a record-breaking 21 years.
The stable at Friedenheim turned into a manufacturing plant which sadly torched in 1952. Another, better one was worked in its place - most likely something to be thankful for, in light of the fact that by then the little ranch outside Molteno was something of a player in the dry nourishments showcase.
Right up 'til the present time, the incredible Ouma rusks are as yet being prepared at Friedenham Farm. In winter it appears, the entire of South Africa needs to fold its aggregate hands over some espresso and plunge an Ouma.
The business turned into the little town's most perceived industry and utilizes the most staff inside a 150km range. Ouma Nannie kept her hand on the business for a long time, and unfortunately passed away in 1989 at the ready maturity of 98 years.
Ouma rusks are presently still appreciated day by day, particularly with that first morning cuppa. Key fixings which give Ouma Rusks their interesting flavor, incorporate wheat flour, orange and lemon peel, raisins, peanuts, oats, coconut, vanilla and nectar. The item is accessible in stores all through South Africa and is additionally found on racks in stores for South African exiles abroad. South Africans around the globe long for and appreciate the notable Ouma Rusks.
Somewhere in the range of 80 years after the fact, the legend of Ouma Rusks lives on, each morning, with that some espresso...
Ouma Rusks are unbelievable, in reality they have so much history that they have progressed toward becoming piece of South Africa's culinary legacy.
