One of our most-loved South African imports.

Ouma has been baking rusks on the family farm near Molteno in the Eastern Cape since the 1930s, and the buttermilk recipe is the one most South Africans grew up dunking into their morning tea or coffee. It's the taste that customers tell us reminds them most of home.

Each box gives you that classic firm, dunkable texture — not too sweet, not too dry — designed to hold together in a hot cup rather than crumble.

Good to know:

  • 500g box
  • In stock and shipped from our UK warehouse — no long import wait
  • Free UK mainland delivery on orders over £70
  • Ingredients: wheat flour, sugar, vegetable fat (palm fruit, TBHQ), buttermilk powder (3%), raising agents (E450, E500, E170), flavourings (contains milk, soy), salt
  • Allergens: wheat, dairy

Frequently asked:

  • Are Ouma rusks vegan? No — this variety contains milk (buttermilk powder) and soy.
  • How long do Ouma rusks last? Check the best-before date on the box; unopened, they store well in a cool, dry place for months.
  • How do you eat Ouma rusks? Dunk in hot tea or coffee until softened, then bite — the traditional South African way.

Who doesn't love Ouma rusks!?

I love Ouma rusks, but I prefer the thinner sliced rusks, but don't get me wrong the flavour is the same but the thinner sliced boxes of rusks are my preference.

Brought back good memories

After spending 25 years in South Africa and leaving forever in 2019 I decided recently to visit a South African food site and was reminded how much I loved Ouma’s buttermilk rusks. They didn’t disappoint. I will be ordering regularly from now on, and have already got some of my UK friends hooked.
