Shito, made the way home used to make it.
Slow-cooked in small batches with chilli pepper, shrimp, herrings and natural spices. Order a jar or a sachet on WhatsApp and we'll get it to your door.
Named for the symbol that means "except for God."
Gye Nyame is an Adinkra symbol from the Akan people of Ghana — a mark of trust and supremacy that's been passed down for generations. We named our shito after it because that's exactly how it's made: with the same trust in a recipe that's been in Ghanaian kitchens long before it had a label.
Every batch starts with fresh chilli pepper, onion and natural oil, built up with shrimp, herrings and natural spices, and simmered slowly until it's dark, rich and ready to sit at the centre of any plate — jollof, waakye, yam, kenkey, or just bread and butter.

Four ways to bring the real taste of home to your table.
One jar, every meal of the day.
Bread & shito
A spoonful on buttered bread, next to eggs, or stirred into beans — the way most Ghanaian mornings start.
Jollof, waakye & rice
Stir it through jollof or waakye, or spoon it beside grilled tilapia, kenkey or banku for extra heat and depth.
Yam, plantain & kelewele
Dip boiled yam or fried plantain straight in, or use it as the base for a quick kelewele glaze.
