The flavour and quality of peaches from South Africa are exceptional due to the country’s sunshine, ideal climate and near-perfect growing conditions.

South African fruit is also an ethical choice because of its role in developing the country in the last 20 years. South African Peach And Thyme Filo Tarte Tatin.

    I never would have thought to use roasted squash in a salad, but that would seem very rich and nummy. Sandi
