MORE THAN A NAME

A family story.
Bottled with love.

Our story begins in Lamin Village, The Gambia, with Mariama “Asombo” Jarju, a horticultural farmer and the mother of our founder, Chef Ousman Kujabi.

Inspired by her connection to the land and a love of good food, Ousman took his passion from The Gambia to professional kitchens in the UK and beyond. Asombo Foods brings that heritage and culinary experience together.

Today, our hot pepper and BBQ sauces share a simple belief: great flavour brings people together.
