It’s that time of the year again, and never have we needed a braai day or the celebration of our loved ones and our culture more than we do on this Heritage Day!

National Braai Day, synonymous with Heritage Day, was begun more than a decade ago by Jan Scannell aka Jan Braai. The concept really gained momentum in 2008 when Archbishop Desmond Tutu lent it his support - and 12 years later, we have one of South Africa’s favourite foodie holidays.

Freezers are probably one of the most useful modern conveniences, without them how could we plan ahead and stock-pile what we need. Part of being a responsible wholesale meat supplier is ensuring that every precaution is taken to assure food safety, but it’s what you do with it afterwards that guarantees continued safety from storage to freezing to cooking. Too often we freeze foods without following the correct procedures or we leave items in the freezer indefinitely not knowing if they’re still safe to eat.
