who we are

Born into a food-loving Italian family, Justine began her culinary journey at 13 in their restaurant. She honed her skills managing renowned establishments like St Elmo’s Waterfront, Cape Town, and explored innovative food techniques at Harrods and Avenance Catering in London.

Combining her passion for food , art and mindful living, she created Sacred Delights as a consumer product division of Sacred Legacy.

The premiere product from Sacred Delights is Aphrodite, a line of exquisite consciously crafted nougat that embodies Justine’s belief in mindful indulgence and celebrating life’s moments.

Through unique flavors and thoughtful ingredients, her creations aim to spark joy, inspire self-connection, and offer a taste of conscious living.
