Funky Ouma

Funky Ouma

Funky Ouma is the result of a very funky grandmother of ten grandchildren who spent her whole life playing with food and herbs – but only at the age of 67 decided to start her own brand together with her youngest daughter Johannita Eksteen. What began as a small family idea has grown into a joyful flavour revolution full of colour, character and South African passion.

From farm to kitchen

Funky Ouma offers delicious salt and spice mixes made from farm-fresh herbs. They use natural salt from Walvis Bay and the Himalayas – ideal for cooking, grilling, barbecuing, marinating, baking bread or simply as table salt. A tastier, healthier and natural alternative to your everyday salt and seasonings.

Colourful tins and grinders full of South African taste
