Ouma rusks literally means "Grandmother's Rusks". It is a well know South African brand of rusk made based on a traditional South African recipe for beskuit. The Ouma rusks started in 1939 in the small North-Eastern Cape Town of Molteno. The great depression spurred Ouma Greyvensteyn and her friends to find ways of helping their community by baking a batch of rusks using her trusted family recipe. After selling these delicious treats to farming families in the community, orders soon started pouring in and a much loved iconic South African brand was born. Today, Ouma Greyvensteyn is still South Africa's most famous rusk baker. The Ouma bakery runs around the clock to ensure that South Africans will always be able to "Dip 'n Ouma"!
