Wilson's

11/06/2026

A great day at the Africa Food Show at the CTICC, Cape Town!

It’s been wonderful catching up with customers, partners and new connections, and showcasing the Wilson’s Foods range of premium olive oil, speciality oils and pantry products.

A special thank you to Julie Fisher and Vincent Howard, who were manning the stand today and doing a fantastic job representing Wilson’s Foods.
We were especially delighted to welcome Steve Wilson to the stand today and spend some time catching with old acquaintances during the show.

If you’re attending the show, come and say hello!

There is a bowl of noodles that has become a standing fixture in our kitchen. Cold egg noodles, a tahini and peanut butter sauce, chilli crisp over the top, spring onions and sesame seeds to finish. Ten minutes from start to bowl, and the kind of thing you stop thinking of as a recipe after the second time you make it.

The sauce is the whole story. Tahini, peanut butter, soy, garlic, a splash of cold water to loosen it — and our Toasted Sesame Oil whisked through at the end. Two teaspoons. That's what makes it taste finished rather than assembled.

The recipe is on the blog. Make it tonight.

𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐢𝐥 doesn't get nearly enough credit in the South African kitchen.
It handles heat better than most oils — smoke point around 230°C — which makes it the right call when the pan needs to be properly hot. Stir-fries, roasting trays, marinades, deep frying. The flavour is warm and mildly nutty without taking over whatever you're cooking.

Two things worth trying this week — our Sweet and Sour Peanut Stir-Fry, which is exactly what a Friday evening should look like, and the Spicy Thai Peanut Chicken, which gets better the longer the sauce sits.

Both recipes on the blog. Links below.

“Draw a picture of Tintin holding a bottle of Wilson’s Olive Oil.”

We have to admit… it did a pretty decent job.

Not bad! Although we suspect Snowy was only interested in what was for dinner.

Sharing our 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬 — and they couldn't be more different from each other.

A Croatian fritule — boozy little things, dusted with icing sugar straight from the oil. A yeasted spiced doughnut that smells like a hot cross bun and takes most of a Saturday afternoon. A cheesy beer-battered hush puppy from the American South that has no business being as good as it is. And a mini vegan doughnut made with our Coconut Oil.

The hush puppies went first. They always do.

All four recipes are on the blog — link below. Clear your Saturday.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲.

Did you know it takes up to 2,000 hand-picked olives to produce a single litre of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil?
Or that the peppery sting you feel at the back of your throat when you taste a good EVOO is actually a compound called oleocanthal — which works on the same anti-inflammatory pathways as ibuprofen?

We've put together the full story — the trees, the numbers, the cold press process, and what the health science actually says. Worth a read.

South Africa's olive industry is smaller than most people realise, but the quality is world-class. Around 95% of locally produced olive oil is extra virgin. In much of Europe that figure is a fraction of total production.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢 & 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐧𝐬
Nobody's quite sure where this recipe came from. It just gets made — usually on a Friday, usually when there are people around, and always with the bread already on the table.

We have a fishmonger in Kalk Bay we've been on first-name terms with for years. When we're not in Cape Town, the fresh fish counter at Woolworths has never let us down. Shell-on king prawns, as fresh as you can get them.

Wilson's Chilli & Garlic Infused Oil goes in first. Garlic and heat already in the oil — thirty seconds to fry it off, smoked paprika stirred through, then the prawns flat in the pan and left alone. Two minutes a side. Parsley. Lemon. Done.
Get the bread ready before you start because there's no time once the pan is hot.
