Woolworths has carved out a niche for itself with a focus on traditional South African favourites that come complete with signature Woolies convenience: think Seven Colours Easy Meal and Sides, Slow-Cooked Ox Tripe, and hard-bodied Umleqwa Chicken.
Now, just in time for Heritage Month, Woolworths is turning up the heat with an expanded heritage food gifting range that captures the spirit of being South African: bold flavours, shared traditions, and of course, a deep love for the braai!
Braai masters can now add a little local flair to whatever they throw on the fire with Woolies’ new range of braai spices, packaged in quirky shaker beer tins: Fynbos Shisanyama; Braaibroodjie Seasoning; Braai Salt and Chili Crisp Sprinkle.
No flames? No problem. The new Artisanal Rooibos-Infused Salt, beautifully presented in a locally crafted ceramic pinch pot, adds some homegrown flavour to everyday cooking and is the perfect gift to send to loved ones overseas who may be missing a taste of home.
And for a proudly South African twist on an Italian favourite, the retailer has reimagined arancini using maize meal and iBhisto relish, a flavourful mix of tomatoes, onions and spices. The Maize Meal Arancini with iBhisto Relish comes with a round black enamel tray, perfect for popping straight on the braai.
Side dishes get their moment in the spotlight with the arrival of the Pull-Apart Chakalaka Bread kit (sold with a green enamel tray and lid and a festive I LOVE SA ribbon) and the Amasi Roosterkoek Braaibroodjie kit, both perfect for family feasting on 24 September. Finish off your feast with a slice of the nation’s favourite dessert with Woolworths’ new and easy No-Bake Fridge Milk Tart kit.
And because no celebration is complete without a sweet treat, the Heritage range also features limited-edition biscuit tins with nostalgic local artwork, like the ‘Lady of the Fynbos’ Zesty Crèmes Shortbread tin and a Protea Petticoat Shortbread Selection tin. You’ll also find beloved bakes like Woolworths’ signature Crunchies, Soet Koekies, and the all-new Milk Tart-Inspired Cookies.
