PROJECT WITH DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Rosehaze began at a kitchen table in Observatory, with a second hand stove and a scale borrowed from a friend. We outgrew it quickly. The move to Salt River gave us cold storage for the oils, which matters in February when the city sits above thirty degrees. Recipes changed very little. Batch sizes doubled, the water bath got bigger, and the method stayed the same one we wrote down in that first kitchen. Anyone who visits can watch a batch being poured. The stove is still in the corner, unused.
FAQs
Everything is made in a small workroom in Salt River, Cape Town. Four of us work there, and most days it smells of beeswax and rooibos. Balms are stirred in ten litre pots over a warm water bath, then poured by hand while still loose. Label
Batches are poured by hand, never more than forty jars at once.
Oils stay in cold storage until the morning they are used.
Visitors are welcome on Fridays, if they phone ahead first.
