The chutney every South African fridge keeps in the door

Mrs Balls has been on South African tables for generations. It started as a family recipe and grew into the chutney that almost every household keeps in the fridge door. Sweet, tangy and just a little spicy, it is made from dried fruit, onion and a touch of chilli, and it goes with far more than you would expect.

For South Africans in Canada, it is one of those small things that makes food taste like home. That is why we stock the range at our shop in Barrie, Ontario, and ship it across Canada. Pick up the classic Original, turn up the heat with Hot or Extra Hot, or try the Chakalaka and Jalapeño flavours for something different. Pair it with Royco for a proper bobotie night, or browse the rest of our South African sauces and condiments.

South Africa's favourite chutney, now in Canada

The Original, and every flavour

There's a reason a bottle of Mrs Balls Chutney lives in every SA fridge. Sweet, tangy, a little spicy, it goes on a cheese sandwich, alongside a curry, or straight onto the plate. We carry Original through to Extra Hot, in the handy jars and the family-sized 1.1kg.

Sauces & Condiments

The secret ingredient in half of SA cooking

It's far more than a spread. A spoonful is the backbone of a proper bobotie, the glaze on a Christmas gammon, the stir into a chicken curry. When a South African recipe says “add chutney,” this is the chutney it means.

Royco

A taste of home, wherever you are

Miss it? We've got you. Stock up on the big jars so you never run dry of the one thing that makes everything taste a little more like home.

Which Mrs Balls chutney should you buy?

  • Original: the classic, and the place to start. Buy the 1.1kg jar if your house goes through it fast.
  • Hot and Extra Hot: the same fruity base with more chilli. Great with curry and anything off the braai.
  • Jalapeño: a fresher, zesty heat that works on burgers and toasted sandwiches.
  • Chakalaka flavoured: chutney with a nod to South Africa’s favourite relish. Want the real relish? See our chakalaka range.
  • Lite: a lighter take on the Original.
  • Sweet Chilli Sauce: a pourable sauce for dipping and glazing.

How South Africans use it

Stir a spoonful into bobotie or a chicken curry, brush it over gammon or sosaties before they come off the fire, serve it with cold meats, or spread it on a cheese sandwich. If you like a little heat on the braai, our peri-peri sauces and braai spices sit right next to it in the pantry.
