About Us
Artisanal Spice, a family-owned venture spearheaded by a father-daughter-cousin trio, has emerged as a beacon of tradition and conscious living in the South African culinary landscape. Founded in 2021, the brand's inception was marked by a deep-seated reverence for family recipes, a dedication to celebrating heritage, and an unwavering commitment to usher South African Indian cuisine into a new era of sophistication and accessibility.
The founding members, Suvania, Samistha, and Danny, draw inspiration from their family's culinary legacy, infusing each product with the essence of their shared history. The brand's lineup pays homage to their maternal grandmother, Rosy, through the beloved No. 4: Rosy’s Mango Sauce, while No. 7: Molly’s Apple Atchar is a nod to their great aunt, Molly, and No. 8: Indrani’s Masala embodies the spirit of another great aunt, Indrani. Notably, No. 1: Danny’s Chilli Pickle, curated by culinary maestro Danny, stands as a cherished favourite among Artisanal Spice connoisseurs.
Indeed, the heart of the business beats resoundingly within each member of the trio. Samistha's unwavering dedication to the brand's growth, Danny's culinary prowess honed through childhood experiences, and Suvania's innovative spirit collectively propel Artisanal Spice towards its enduring vision.
Their meticulous craftsmanship culminates in a diverse range of conscious, handcrafted, vegan, and gluten-free products, dispelling the misconception that conscious consumption necessitates compromise in flavour. As a testament to their unwavering commitment, the brand has garnered accolades from esteemed platforms such as Food24 and Kamers Makers. In a testament to their unwavering authenticity and dedication to upholding South Africa's rich culinary heritage, Artisanal Spice has been proudly welcomed into the esteemed ranks of Proudly South Africa. This collaborative venture serves as an unequivocal affirmation from the South African community, underscoring the brand's significance as a cherished staple in South African pantries.
Each exquisitely crafted jar and bottle encapsulates the enduring love, dedication, and profound heritage that define Artisanal Spice. With Rosy, Molly, and Indrani standing as proud paragons of inspiration, Artisanal Spice embarks on a journey aligned with its founding ethos - to celebrate tradition, family, and the vibrant tapestry of South African flavours.
