Pacific Palate – Ebesse Zozo Hot Sauce

This morning I tried to render Early Edition host Rick Cluff speechless by plying him with hot sauces made from a traditional family recipe originating in Togo, West Africa.  They are made by Edmond Segbeaya in Nelson.  He came to Canada a few years ago after escaping political persecution in Togo. 

You can visit the Ebesse Zozo website here.  You will find more about Edmund’s family history and the story of how he came to make this award-winning hot sauce.  In Vancouver, you can find his sauces for sale at Whole Foods and Capers Community Markets.

These sauces are hot, but they also have a lot of flavour.
