This brings the number of flavours that the small company now produces to ten. Other flavours in the range include Tannie Evita’s Classic, Honey & Salt, Red Wine & Chocolate, Orange & Cranberry, Liquorice, Sour Fig, Bird’s Eye Chilli and Ormonde Wines.
Darling Sweet co-founder Frits van Ryneveld, says, “Since opening the doors of the Darling Sweet kitchen in July 2014, we continue to strive to produce the best quality handcrafted toffees.”
The company has provided employment for residents of the town and has become a drawcard for locals and international visitors who have heard about its toffees and want to sample them for themselves.
“One of our main aims is job creation and career development opportunities for our community. We are proud to have grown to a staff complement of 20 full-time employees – all under the banner of the Proudly South African campaign.”
Production takes place in an Edwardian building that once housed Darling’s general dealer business – the company also manufactures toffee spreads in three flavours – Tannie Evita’s Classic, Bird’s Eye Chili and Honey & Salt and locally sourced raw veld flower honey and fleur de sel, hand-harvested salt.
