Our Story
From a country kitchen
to kitchens nationwide.
From humble beginnings in a country kitchen in 2004, Zuidvaal Jams has grown into a proudly South African brand loved nationwide for its handcrafted, small-batch preserves. Founded just south of the Vaal River in the Amersfoort region of Mpumalanga, what began with a few jars of nastergal jam has blossomed into a sought-after range of exotic jams, each one crafted with care, heritage, and heart.
