Our Products
South African raisins are produced in the Orange and Olifants river regions, which is in the Northern and Western Cape respectively.
These regions experience exceptional levels of sunshine, on average 10.5 hours every day between January and March, which is when the fruit is harvested and naturally sundried. The dry, sunny climate, along with the ample supply of water from the rivers, makes ideal growing conditions to produce the highest quality raisins.
