Taste of Africa
A Safari full of Flavour
About Us
Taste of Africa is a Swedish company that import and sell products for exotic cooking and interior decoration. We own a farm stall near Hedesunda, 30 km South of Gävle. In 2007 opened Baobab Kitchen, the new exciting, interactive experience of Africa, where groups learn to cook and bake over a fire in African cast-iron pots. We are wholesalers to shops and restaurants, and we advertise and sell our products on markets and festivals in Sweden and on the Internet.
Taste of Africa works intimately with the export company Nu Taste Trading in South Africa. The two companies together, own and market the Taste of Africa brand as well as other products sold by Taste of Africa.
The two owners Nolan van Wyk and Åsa Hemborg are passionate in their exploration of exotic food, spices, sauces and everything that comes with a positive food experience. They believe that genuine positive experiences of exotic food bring people of different cultures together. It's like travelling in your own kitchen!

Taste of Africa Spice-kits have stunning images painted by a young Kenyan boy. Taste of Africa donates 4% of the selling price of the spice-kits to Vi-skogen, a tree-planting project around Lake Victoria. We want to give our artist something that can change his world and give new opportunities, also to other children in East Africa that cannot afford to attend school. Vi-skogen helps people to stop soil erosion. At the same time, they get an income from the trees that are being planted.

the idea of giving Africa ’Trade not Aid’, we initiate a

Company. This project will...
