Good baking starts in the pantry.
Trusted in South African kitchens for over a century.
A hundred years of good taste.
Arthur Stafford opened his business in 1921. His brother Harry and Max Draeger joined him, and in 1951 Stafford Bros & Draeger was formed. A century on, we still choose every product the same way: would we put it on our own table?
