Meet Essie.
For one little girl, the journey started in her mother's tiny kitchen in Ghana where her love affair with spice was ignited. Her flavorful journey continued all over the globe, spurred by her insatiable appetite for travel. She played with exotic palates; she tested cuisines, she concocted condiments.
As her experiments with spices grew, so did the demand for her homemade sauces which all boiled down to what you now find in this jar: bottled up joy handed down through three generations to spice up your life.
That little girl was Essie, and this is Essiespice.
Essie regularly makes personal appearances and offers cooking seminars, classes, and demonstrations under the EssieSpice brand, which have been featured across numerous television and online platforms, and in
national and international publications including TIME, Bon Appetit, Food Network and Shape.
Good things take time, here's our journey.
