Comments Off GET STUFFED / THE REAL CHEESE: Owned by Valerie Elder
The Real Cheese Shop supplies the best of SA Artisanal cheese, raw milk and pasteurized, made with loving care from small and medium size farms around the country. Most of the farms operate with organic principals and some are listed, nothing artificial here !!
Marian & Claudette have extensive knowledge of the cheese and will assist in creating anything from a wedding cake, fondue or cheese board.
Goat, sheep and cow cheeses, & imported buffalo mozzarella are the bases of our range, we stock yoghurt from sheep’s & goat milk, butter from goat & cow. Our cured meats come from Cremalat a renown Italian outlet, parma ham to pancetta.
Come and taste before you decide, talk though the ideas, and then find the perfect accompaniment, Suurtjies, Maketaan, Aubergine, the list is long, or select olives from Kloovenburg. We also stock some biscuits and biscotti.
Come where the chefs shop and indulge…….

Comments Off While conviviality is implicit in our name and monthly events, Slow Food Cape Town aims to become a force for tradition and preservation in the Cape. We identify and present awards to artisanal producers annually and intend extending the scope of these awards.
We hope to follow Slow Food Italy in establishing an “Ark of Taste”, to identify and record threatened species. The Cape boasts an enormous wealth of indigenous plants and herbs, many of which need to be saved from extinction.
Slow Food Cape Town also concerned about the environment. As Petrini says, you cannot be a true gourmet without being a conservationist. In an age where genetically modified foodstuffs are the norm – and animal fodder has caused mad cow disease – we support organic farming and natural products like cheese from non-pasteurised milk.
The international movement puts its money where its mouth is in the form of the International Slow Food Awards. I, and members of my committee, serve on the international Slow Food jury which votes for candidates realising the Slow Food objectives.
The Cape Town Convivium of Slow Foods has established the Funa Foods Fund (Funa is an African word meaning needy) directed at upliftment. The projects we support are food-related, and motivated from within the community.
