During 2014, Charlene started growing Shitake Mushrooms. Her passion for Shiitake Mushrooms came as a result of her extreme chemo treatments during her cancer story. After some research, she realized that Shiitake Mushrooms are one of the best natural immune boosters and were also used in Japan as a natural cancer treatment.
We realized the potential of Shiitake
We then set of with the idea of re-inventing Shiitake products to present to Foodies who are bored with the normal. After experimenting with mushrooms, herbs and flavors, we developed a range of Shiitake Mushroom products – Pickle Shiitake in oil, Mushroom Salsa, Mushroom biltong, Wild Mushroom Spice, Smoked Shiitake Salt and Mushroom Dukkah.
A range of products where no additives, MSG, colorants were used.
Then we launched the business
October 2017 we officially registered SharLeBel (Pty) Ltd as a business with the three ranges : Condiments, Sauces and Spices.
Expand our range
We soon realized the combination of Smoked Shiitake and Chillies are delicious! A Chilli product range were added : Hot Chilli Sauce with Smoked Mushrooms, Flaming Sugar Free Habanero Sauce, Candied Jalapeno, Fiesta Jalapeno Salad Dressing, Habanero Salt and Habanero Flakes. Heat with flavor!
Never become Stagnant
The push to create new foodies experiences never ends, and we invite you to join us on the journey. We continually release new discoveries straight from our “kitchen”. Currently (2022) our new products in development are a Smoked Chilli Relish and a Smoked Chilli Oil.
