STORY BEHIND THE POTS
OUR ROOTS
Pepper Pots started with my mum.
​
When I was a kid, she used to make batches of what we now call The Golden One to sell. It was always a hit, full of flavour, heat and love. Over time, life got busy and she stopped selling them, but the memory (and the taste) stuck with me. I always knew I wanted to bring it back and share it with others.
Growing up in a Ghanaian household, food was everything. It wasn’t just about eating – it was about gathering, sharing, storytelling. Peppers and chillies were at the heart of so many of our meals, from everyday dishes to our big annual fish feasts – where we’d pile the table with grilled fish, yams, banku, shellfish, and of course, endless sauces.
Those gatherings were where Pepper Pots really took shape. Friends and family kept asking for jars of our chilli sauces - from my dad's shito to our own bold blends of scotch bonnets and carefully chosen spices. Eventually, I stopped keeping it all in the family and decided to share it with the wider world.
​
Pepper Pots is a Ghanaian-inspired condiment range, handcrafted in small batches and rooted in family tradition. Every pot tells a story; whether it’s inspired by a memory, an ingredient, or just a love of bold flavours.
We keep things simple but intentional: high-quality ingredients, no shortcuts, and a focus on reducing food waste wherever we can.
​
At its heart, Pepper Pots is about connection. Connecting people to good food, to different cultures, and to each other – through a shared love of spice.
​
We do this simply for the love of spice. We hope you enjoy these sauces as much as we enjoy making them.
