We are also well known for, and proud of our flagship product Umgubo Wamasi milk powder – we are the only Company to manufacture this product in powder form. This milk powder has exceptional values and enhances energy levels of patients. Umgubo Wamasi (so called in Zulu and Xhosa, and “maas” in Afrikaans) is the common word for fermented milk that tastes like cottage cheese or plain yogurt. Umgub
o Wamasi is traditionally prepared by storing unpasteurised cow’s milk in a calabash container (igula in isiZulu) or hide sack to allow to ferment. The fermenting milk develops a watery substance called umlaza; the remainder is amasi. This thick liquid is mostly poured over the mealie meal (maizeflour) porridge called pap, or drunk straight. It is traditionally served in a clay pot (ukhamba in isiZulu) and eaten with wooden spoons. Umgubo Wamasi is also produced commercially using Lactococcus lactis subsplactis and L. lactis susp cremoris and is pasteurised before distribution and consumption, with a shelf life of 21 days at 4⁰C. Umgubo Wamasi provides accelerated energy levels to our Aids and TB patients.
