Funky Ouma Gourmet Food is a family-run business established in 2012 by Anneke van Rooyen, a grandmother of 10, and her daughter Johannita Eksteen. The company started as a way to create healthier cooking alternatives, focusing on natural, herb-filled salts and spices. Over time, Funky Ouma has expanded its product line to include extra-virgin olive oil, coffee, and various gourmet food items. The business is operated on their farm near Paarl, South Africa, where they maintain a strong emphasis on quality and natural ingredients.
