Coach House Nougat Kitchen
A lady with a vision for delicious sweets created the first batch of decadent nougat and started the Coach House Nougat Company. There was a surplus of Macadamia nuts on the farm where Guy and Jane Matthews started the old Coach House Hotel. The nuts were being used in pies, savoury dishes, and ultimately nougat. Jane stirred the first pot in 1994 and ignited a hand-made nougat revolution in South Africa. The company started distributing the fine product throughout South Africa and, as demand rose, they set up a factory (creating employment largely for women in the Limpopo province and specifically the surrounding rural areas), which has empowered local families ever since.
