Ukuva is the "Taste of Africa" - the tales of many journeys, told in food.
Ukuva are the BIG flavours. Some are hot, some not so hot.
Some spice blends are mesmerising - like Spiced Bliss, Island Spice or Happiness Spice.
Some spices turn up the heat - try Fire Spice, Chilli & Ginger, Harissa and Hot Rocks Hot.
Some make friends as far as they go - think Lemon Pepper (aka Friendship blend)
The original Ukuva 'BIG 4' - Mamba, Fire Sauce, Peri Peri and Gold are mostly on the hot side of mild and superbly flavourful.
Hot Drops gather devoted fans as far as they go and the mild sauces - like Chakalaka and Sosatie are delightful party animals. Kids love them!
"A flavour-adventure is waiting to be found... are you ready?"
The Savoury
is pure, mineral rich, marine salt made by the sun and wind from brine that was created in a time before pollution began.
Most of the processing and packing is done by real people. This means each crystal stays as perfect as the day it was formed.

We pack a number of year round gifts - a couple of our most popular products, boxed.
Ever conscious of the environment, we design with minimum 'layers' in mind (no overpackaging!), the materials are mostly recycled board, and definitely recyclable - some are even compostable.

Private Label & Special Projects
We also pack private label, Fair Trade products.
El Puente in Germany has a range of about forty Turqle products under their own label. These products are not identical to the Ukuva or Cape Treasures products, and most products were specially formulated for El Puente.
El Puente is a WFTO Guaranteed Fair Trade member and all their products carry the WFTO GS label.
True Origin in Scotland have been part of Turqle's story for many years. So its only really the 'look' and the label that's new.
We have become rather good at special projects - whether it is packing tiny runs of Fleur de Sel for a super-niche customer or tackling 1000 unit runs with multi-layer complexities...
We have active markets in the UK, the USA and Europe. Our domestic market in South Africa is a separate trading entity. In 2020 we gave Turqle SA to our current employees to run for their own profit.
" Ultimately, it is about delivering what we promise: a do-good, feel good, taste good, 'come back for more', food story! "
