Start With How You Plan To Use The Jars
Before you add anything to your order, it helps to think about the way you will use the preserves. A 270 g jar is often a handy choice for a household that wants to try a few flavours, while a larger jar may suit regular cooking, platter work, or kitchen prep for guests. If you are buying for a function in Stellenbosch or a corporate kitchen in Johannesburg, larger quantities usually make more sense than a one off jar here and there.
Our preserves are useful in simple cooking and serving, from spreading on crackers to spooning into pasta, sandwiches, braaivleis sides and savoury bakes. If you are unsure which mix to choose, start with one or two jars of different styles so you can see what suits your table best. A mixed order is often the easiest way to decide.
- Choose smaller jars for tasting, gifting, or occasional use.
- Choose larger jars when you know you will use the product often.
- Mix sun-dried tomato and pickle options if you want variety.
- Allow for extra jars if the order is for a crowd or hamper packing.
How To Place An Order Online
Orders are placed through our enquiry form on the contact page. Once your details come through, we can assist with product selection, quantity checks, delivery area and any special packing notes. Please include the town or suburb, especially if you are in the Western Cape, Gauteng or KwaZulu-Natal, so we can guide the courier option properly.
When sending through an order, it is best to be specific about the number of jars, the product names, and whether the order is for home use, gifting or a business need. If you are ordering from Paarl, Cape Town, Pretoria or Durban, the same process applies. For larger orders, a few extra details up front save time later and help us pack the correct mix from the start.
- Include your full name and delivery area.
- List the product names and jar quantities.
- Note if the order is for a gift box, event favour or bulk supply.
- Mention preferred delivery timing if you have a deadline.
Checking Larger Quantity Options
If you need more than a few jars, let us know early. We often help with bulk orders for hospitality, seasonal gifting, wedding tables, stockist requests and office hampers. Larger quantity orders may need a different packing plan, especially when the items are going to more than one address or need to be split for separate recipients. That is common for businesses in Cape Town and Gqeberha who send gifts to clients across the country.
For larger orders, it is useful to think about total jars needed, the flavour mix, and whether you want each parcel packed individually or all together. If your order is for a shop shelf, a corporate event or a subscription box run, we can help you work through the numbers before anything is confirmed. This keeps the process straightforward and avoids shortages at the last minute.
- Bulk orders work well for events, hospitality and gifting.
- Ask about mixed flavour packs if you need variety.
- State whether you need one delivery address or several.
- For seasonal runs, place your order early so packing can be arranged in time.
Courier Delivery Across South Africa
We send orders by courier across South Africa, including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Gqeberha. Delivery times can vary by destination and courier route, so it is wise to place time sensitive orders early, especially before holidays, weddings or year end gifting. If you are sending to a coastal area, it is still best to keep the parcel on hand and open it soon after delivery, especially in humid weather.
Courier parcels are packed with care so the jars can travel properly from Paarl to the rest of the country. If you are receiving stock for a restaurant, deli or hamper business, make sure someone is available to accept the parcel. That avoids delays and helps prevent jars sitting in the sun at a depot or reception area.
- Courier delivery is available nationwide.
- Check that the delivery address is correct before sending the order.
- Tell us if the parcel is for a business, home or event venue.
- Allow extra time during busy seasons and public holidays.
Gift Boxes, Hampers And Event Favours
If your order is for a gift, we can help you work out the right jar count and packing style. Gift boxes, custom hampers, event favours and wedding orders usually need a tidy mix of products that suits the occasion and the budget. A small corporate set may only need a few jars per recipient, while a wedding favour order can require many same sized packs packed in batches.
For these orders, it helps to decide early on whether you want every box identical or whether you want a mixed selection. If the order is going to multiple people, add the names, addresses and quantity split clearly in your enquiry. That makes the packing stage much easier and keeps the final order organised.
If You Are Unsure What To Choose
If you are not sure which preserve fits your cooking style, send an enquiry with the kind of meals you make most often. We can point you toward a sensible starting order for toast, platters, pasta, sandwiches or savoury entertaining. Many customers begin with a small mixed order, then come back once they know which jar gets used first.
Ordering should be simple. If you know your area, your quantity and the type of use, we can help from there. Whether you are in Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Paarl or further afield, the process is the same, and the aim is to make your purchase easy to plan, pack and receive.
