Who is Joris?

Joris ?

You pronounce it as /ˈjoː.rɪs/ or phonetically as j-oh-r-ih-s, but not like that Japanese car model, and neither like the Russian variant. Think George in Dutch. Not an easy name to pronounce but hope you can remember it once you taste Joris Made's amazing products.

Suppliers:

Joris uses the highest quality ingredients, where possible local. Our meat ingredients are provisioned from HACCP accredited butcheries who use the latest Food Safety Management Systems. Our fish ingredients come from sustainable sources and suppliers with he highest quality standards.

Quality Management:

Joris Food and Experiences (Pty) Ltd has been inspected and issued a Certificate of Acceptability for Food Premises by the City of Cape Town, to ensure the highest Food Safety & Quality standards are applied to the sourcing, preparation, processing, packaging and transport of ingredients and finished products.

Joris Food and Experiences also employs a tracking and tracing quality management system from all ingredients used in preparation of the individual dishes in order to consistently maintain the highest standards of taste and quality.

Joris's Background

Background:

Joris Food & Experiences was created in early 2021 by Joris Goudriaan in response to a rapidly maturing Cape Town food scene, due in part to the COVID pandemic, as well as a growing passion for unique cuisine from a varied international clientele.

A life-long passion for cooking and two Harvard cooking courses later (Chemistry and Physics of cooking) coupled with a 5 month baking session during the lockdown of 2020, Joris felt the time was right to pursue a life of achieving excellent unique classic recipes, exploring the local alternatives to classical dishes.

I have been testing (and tasting) my products since November 2020 with a passionate group of early adopters. In February 2021 it was time to make it official and incorporate Joris Food and Experiences into a (Pty) Ltd, apply for certification from the City of Cape, so that my products can be safely sold online and in retail shops.

Joris Food and Experiences is a purveyor of the finest ingredients from the best ethical suppliers the Western Cape has to offer. Joris creates classic fine foods under the Joris Made range as well as a providing catering services and prepared individual baskets with a variety of menu items.
