iBhisto

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

iBhisto, Gqebera’s favourite breakfast staple, is most commonly enjoyed with eggs and fresh bread. It’s a standard table condiment and we enjoy it best with our smoked home-made amasi cheese on toasted umfino bread. iBhisto is also a solid side to any dish and balances rich dishes.
