To see our Olive & Rosemary mix and our Original mix take top honours is deeply rewarding. It reaffirms our belief in using the best ingredients, the simplest methods, and a whole lot of love to create something truly special.”

Barrett’s Ridge offers eight delicious mixes and a growing selection of recipes to inspire creativity in the kitchen. This proud South African company also champions community involvement, working with micro-enterprises like Ukama Packing Solutions to create opportunities for women in local communities.

With this dual win at the Food&Home Awards, Barrett’s Ridge continues to raise the bar for home-baking mixes, proving that sometimes, the simplest recipes carry the most heart.
