A visit to Leo Foods at Westlake Park followed by lunch at Casa Labia, Main Road, Muizenberg

Saturday, 22nd October 2011 at 11h00

Jackie Leone’s production team will be making Panforte, and you’ll be able to see the making of this traditional Italian cake or ‘strong bread’, as it’s been made since mediaeval times in Siena, Tuscany. There’ll be a tasting too, of the Panforte, as well as some of their other Italian products, and you are welcome to buy some treats to take home. Please bring cash, as there is no credit card facility at the factory.

Jackie says that she can accommodate groups of eight at a time, with the first group starting at 10h30. All visitors are required by the Food Safety Policy to complete a visitors’ form pertaining to your medical history, and will be supplied with a white coat and hairnet to wear while in the production and packing rooms. You will also need to remove all jewellery, including watches and rings, and no strong-smelling fragrance may be worn. Don’t be deterred by the above rather draconian-sounding restrictions – a fun and tasty time will be had by all who venture onto the factory floor! We will let you know the time you should be there once bookings have been made.

After this visit we will go to Casa Labia in Muizenberg for lunch at 13h00. There is some parking available on the Main Road. The parking area near the station in Muizenberg is not far from the venue.
