OUR ROOTS

Durban · 1993

Born from a family kitchen on the KwaZulu-Natal coast in 1993, Minnies grew from one peri-peri blend into a full retail range, a food-service line for the country's hospitality sector, and a private-brand operation supplying 40+ export markets. Same family, same factory, in Briardene since 2024.

FSSC 22000 Certified

Annually audited international food safety management standard.

The family behind the name

Inspired by our mom, Amina 'Minnie' Kolia. Founded with passion by Hoosen and Ibrahim Kolia.

Flavour Philosophy

Heat is easy. Flavour takes time. We roast our garlic low and slow, source chilli for complexity over kick, and craft sauces that taste like someone cared, because we did.
