Droewors

There’s nothing quite like the taste and texture of droewors.  This traditional South African air-dried not-so-dry sausage is the perfect snack for every occasion.

From campfires in the great outdoors, picnics and parties on the beach, to family gatherings, sports fields and the poshest of celebrations, droewors is quite at home anywhere and everywhere.

Is it the snappy crack as you break off a piece?  Is it the slightly chewy softness of the interior?  Is it the alluring blend of spices and coriander seeds?  Is it the not-so-dryness of this dry sausage that tickles every taste bud it touches?

If you’ve ever tried droe wors (pronounced ‘droor vorse’), you’ll know.  And if you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the time.  Trust us.  One taste and you’ll be hooked.

We’ve got the Dutch settlers who came to South Africa back in the 17^th century to thank for this delectable treat.  They brought their droe worst (also known as metworst) to South African shores and taught us how to preserve meat through drying.  The rest as they say, is history.
