SOBAE was established September 2017  jointly by couple Thula Ndema and Thato Mbongeni Masondo. SOBAE is made from perfectly ripe fruit, sweet fruit; and much less sugar than you'll  find. No dairy. No additives. No preservatives. And very little sugar.

WE ARE EXPLORERS

We discover novel flavour combinations using unusual, in-season ingredients. We even use vegetables, herbs and spices in some of our sorbets – it works beautifully!

WE ARE ARTISANS

We have exacting standards. Every batch of SOBAE sorbet is made by hand. And we buy our ingredients personally to ensure they are the very finest available.

WE ARE IDEALISTS

We buy our ingredients from informal vendors at the point when their ripeness means they are about to be thrown out. The fight against food waste is central to us.
