The Food24 team started reviewing South Africa’s favourite grocery store products back in September 2018, and immediately we were flooded with requests about which food products we should do next. We soon learnt that humble items like mayonnaise and instant coffee have very firm places in the hearts (and opinions) of South Africans.

Here are the top 10 taste tests of all time, with all the results included. Chat to us in the comments about which item we should test next!

10. We tasted 9 different local sparkling wines and found the best value for money this festive season

Last Christmas, we sat down to do some serious work. What is the best bubbly to toast with? We invited award-winning sommelier and wine maker Joseph Dhafana to lead our tasting panel.

9. 10 of South Africa’s favourite cheese-flavoured chips, ranked from worst to best

Are you Team Niknaks or Team Flings forever? We loved doing this taste test, orange fingertips and all!

8. We tasted and reviewed 8 different marshmallow Easter eggs – which one will be your favourite?

Easter in South Africa just wouldn’t be the same without strings of marshmallow-and-chocolate treats. The double chocolate flavoured egg was the team favourite here!

REVEALED: The top 10 Taste Tests by Food247. We tasted 8 different mayos to find our favourite one, and the underdog surprised us all

Going into a Taste Test, we always secretly hope for a big upset. In this one, it was the vegan mayo that really impressed us!

REVEALED: The top 10 Taste Tests by Food246. We tasted all 12 Quality Street chocolates and toffees and ranked them from best to worst

This story sparked a very vibrant discussion within our team! Which one is the best – is it the green triangle or the purple hazelnut one?

REVEALED: The top 10 Taste Tests by Food245. We tested 5 petrol station chicken pies to find South Africa’s best padkos snack

A long time ago, before we ever thought that hot pies would be banned under Lockdown 2020, we tasted a selection of chicken pies head to head to find the best.

4. We tested Nutella vs 3 cheaper alternatives and the winner was clear

Again with the chocolate! This was a delicious taste test, and we had many volunteers!

3. We tested SA’s top cream liqueurs – and the best one is not what you think

What is a don pedro without your favourite marula cream liqueur? Well, we tried some of the alternatives and found a new favourite. REVEALED: The top 10 Taste Tests by Food24

2. We tasted 6 of SA’s best tomato sauces: Did your favourite one win?

After doing this taste test, we learnt a new rule: tomato sauce is right up there with touchy topics like politics and religion!

1. We tasted 6 South African instant coffees, and we all need to give Ricoffy a break

Did you know that in South Africa, 6 out of 10 coffees are made with Ricoffy? Its affordable price and creamy taste did very well against the premium brands.
