Klein Karoo International specialises in the production of ostrich meat and leather products, with an emphasis on animal welfare and sustainable farming practices.

Their range of products are also available through Cape Karoo Meat, which advertises their product range, accreditations and also supplies various ostrich recipes.

Ostrich meat is high in protein, but low in calories, which makes it a popular choice for a meat lover’s balanced diet. Its characteristics and versatility makes it ideal for home cooks and chefs alike, whether preparing protein-packed meals or light lunches.

Furthermore, Klein Karoo International is committed to sustainable farming practices, which translates into their product’s superior quality and taste. All the Ostrich meat is fully traceable back to the farm and is endorsed by the South African Heart Foundation. 

Their Ostrich meat range includes fillet, which is the most tender cut of the ostrich, available as tenderloin, fan fillet and eye fillet; steak, which is available in different sizes and sold as individual portions, as well as bulk packs; and goulash, also known as diced meat and perfect for winter stews, pasta and sauces.

Klein Karoo International's pre-grilled ostrich meat range is available year-round and is seared for tenderness and juiciness. It is a convenient, high-quality product that is suitable for both retail and foodservice purposes. The range is sold in South African supermarkets, as well as international markets like France, Germany, Switzerland, Britain, Italy, Holland and Belgium. 

Klein Karoo International is fully accredited by various local and international food associations, such as International Food Standard Certification, DAFF Export Compliance, National Independent Halaal Trust, and The Heart & Stroke Foundation.
