In 1939, in the small town of Molteno, Ouma Greyvensteyn embarked on a journey that would leave a lasting imprint on South African culture. During challenging times, she and her friends sought to make a difference in their community. Their solution? Baking rusks based on a cherished family recipe. This initiative quickly gained momentum, with orders pouring in from all corners, cementing Ouma's status as South Africa's most celebrated rusk baker.
