Ouma Rusks Buttermilk

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.

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.
