Premium Ayamase Spice Blend

Description

TRADITIONAL YORUBA GREEN PEPPER STEW SEASONING

Bring the unmistakable character of Ayamase to your kitchen with a carefully balanced blend of green peppers, onion, fermented locust beans and ground crayfish.

Inspired by the deeply flavored green pepper stew of southwestern Nigeria, CaMasi Maison™ Premium Ayamase Spice Blend delivers the savory foundation, pepper-forward warmth and fermented depth that define an authentic pot of Ayamase.

THE RITUAL OF AYAMASE

CaMasi Maison™ Premium Ayamase Spice Blend is a treasured Nigerian seasoning inspired by the celebrated green pepper sauce of Yoruba culinary tradition.

Carefully composed from a balanced selection of peppers, herbs, spices, and traditional aromatics, this refined blend brings savory depth, fragrant warmth, and authentic character to the pot. Its finely ground texture distributes evenly and blooms beautifully within the pepper-and-onion foundation of the sauce.

Also known as Ofada sauce or designer stew, Ayamase is traditionally prepared with green peppers, onions, palm oil, iru, assorted meats, offal, boiled eggs, and regional seasonings. Our Ofada sauce spice blend complements these traditional ingredients while allowing the distinctive richness of the sauce to remain at the center.
