At Esca, our signature berbere is prepared with authenticity and care, sourced directly from the fertile lands of Hosanna and Alaba. These regions are celebrated for their rich soil and long-standing spice traditions, producing some of the most vibrant chili peppers in Ethiopia. We partner with local farmers who cultivate and sun-dry the chilies using traditional methods, preserving their bold flavor and natural heat. Blended with garlic, ginger, and a variety of indigenous spices, Esca’s berbere captures the essence of Ethiopian cooking while supporting sustainable agriculture and fair partnerships with farming communities.
