Zomi is palm oil at its finest — the aromatic, slow-processed red palm oil that gives true Ghanaian cooking its soul. Deep crimson in colour and rich with the natural carotenoids that give palm oil its goodness, this 1-litre bottle carries the distinctive smoky-sweet aroma that sets zomi apart from ordinary palm oil. It is the essential base for red red and beans stew, palava sauce, garden egg stew, eto and traditional palm nut dishes, and just a spoonful drizzled over hot kenkey or boiled yam transforms the plate. Unrefined and full-flavoured, zomi may thicken in cooler weather — simply stand the bottle in warm water to restore its pour. For cooking with real character, this is the bottle to reach for.
