No other chutney that compares
If ever there was an iconic South African brand, this is it. There is simply no other chutney that compares and I do include international alternatives in my comparison. It has the ability to enhance the flavour of almost anything you'd care to dip into it, and a "boerewors roll" (SA hotdog and more) is not complete without a healthy dollop. Mmm...whoever thought I could get passionate about a condiment!

Mrs Balls' takes her place at our table
My husband is from Johannesburg and when I went to visit his family in South Africa for the first time 10 years ago, I had Mrs Balls’ Chutney for the first time. This is a staple in our household. It’s hard to get - you can’t just stroll up to your local supermarket and buy a jar - but I will search high and low, and drive miles to buy Mrs Balls’ in bulk. Some people prefer ketchup or HP sauce as their table condiment, but for me and my family, Mrs Balls’ takes her place at our table all the time.

A must have in every household
Just a great range of Chutney's which you can use with basically any dish. From a simple plain cheese rol, a rice and curry dish, with your meat, chicken or fish, or as an ingredient for sauces, bastings and marinades. A must have in every household. Luckily also available in The Netherlands now.

The finer things in life
Well I am in the UK and found a supermarket selling Mrs Balls Chutney. Then they ran out of stock and has'nt seen it since, other than that I have to go to a SA shop to buy it and it cost an arm and a leg. £2.75 to be exact...Can't live without the finer things in life.

What can I say...
What can I say...it is the best accompaniment and just about the best chutney I have ever tasted. After visiting South Africa, I associate the taste of the chutney with the brilliant sunny skies and vibrancy of the land. I even had to bring 4 bottles of this all the way from New Zealand to my wedding in Malaysia. That's how much I love it!

As wild as the Sahara
A little known, divine, tart, yet mellow South African chutney inspiration that is great with japanese mayonnaise, pringles and beer! As wild as the Sahara and unequalled!

Soon write home
Essential to Cape Malay cooking, this condiment is happily married to every conceivable dish on the South African table - especially good on a Boerie Roll. South Africans living abroad soon write home asking for Mrs Ball's Blatjang. Lekker.
