Our British biscuits are McVities wholewheat digestives and also McVities Chocolate Hob Nobs which are made with oats and dipped in dairy milk chocolate, just pure yum! This category is also where you will find Ouma Rusks, rusks are unique to South Africa and although sometimes compared to biscotti, there is no real comparison except that they are also dried when baked, Rusks are usually dunked in a cup of tea or coffee in order to soften and originate from the pioneer days in South Africa as a way for the Boers (Dutch farmers) to preserve bread and along with biltong as a trail food which would keep indefinitely. Ouma rusks are by far the most popular rusk and the flavors we stock are Buttermilk by far the top seller, Muesli, Condensed Milk and Three Seed sliced rusks a newcomer which is made with wholewheat bran, raisins, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds and tends to have a homemade texture. Dip an Ouma and enjoy your dunker!
