About us

Rooted in Heritage, Made with Heart

Mama Akua’s began as a way to share the flavors of home - bold, rich, and full of memory. Inspired by generations of Ghanaian cooking, our sauces are made slowly and with intention. What started at Mama’s table is now a growing community built on flavor, family, and tradition.

The heart behind the brand, Mama Akua brings years of experience, warmth, and storytelling into every batch. Raised in Ghana and now based in Toronto, she shares her love for food through her signature Shito and immersive cooking classes.

Our Philosophy

Food is memory
Recipes are stories
Cooking is connection
Community is everything

What We Make

We craft small-batch pepper sauces inspired by Ghanaian tradition, using real ingredients and no shortcuts. Our signature Shito is smoky, spicy, and unforgettable - just like the meals we grew up with.

More than sauce

Mama Akua’s isn’t just a pantry staple - it’s a project rooted in sharing, teaching, and honoring culture. From cooking classes to community events, we’re building a space for people to learn, taste, and gather.
