About Us
Because there’s no taste like home, we bring South Africa to you, right here in the Algarve!
At Safico, we’re proud to offer a wide range of beloved South African products—from the finest biltong, dry wors, and stokkies to chips, chocolates, sweets, rusks, chutneys, sauces, spices, and more. Our beautifully designed store is a one-stop destination for top-quality South African food products, served with the warmth and friendliness you’d expect from a family-run business.
Founded by Shelley and Vic in May 2023, Safico was created out of a deep love for South African flavours and a desire to make them easily accessible to the local community. Shelley and Vic have made it their mission to deliver a curated selection of South African essentials, keeping prices affordable while ensuring a seamless, friendly shopping experience.
Safico is more than a store; it’s a bridge to the vibrant tastes and traditions of South Africa. For those familiar with these unique products, we offer the nostalgic flavours of home, and for newcomers, a chance to discover the rich and varied tastes of South Africa.
