How it started

For over 20 years, Freaddy's family made shito the way it had always been made — no shortcuts, no timers. Just instinct and hours at the stove.

What began as a family passion became a request from every friend who tasted it. The feedback was always the same: "You should sell this."

So we did. In 2022, Freaddy's Foody registered with the FSA, scaled the recipe, and started making shito in small batches out of a kitchen in Northampton. The recipe hasn't changed. The patience hasn't changed. Only the jars are bigger.

Today we're a small team with a big mission: to bring proper Ghanaian shito to every table in the UK — and eventually, the world.

" We slow-cook every batch with patience. Not because we have to. Because anything less just isn't shito.

The process

Slow-cooked. Every single time.

No shortcuts. No preservatives. No compromises.

01
Source ingredients
Dried herrings, chilli, tomatoes, onion, and spices — sourced fresh, inspected personally.
02
Prep & blend
Everything is blended to a coarse paste. Texture matters. We don't go smooth.
03
Slow cook
Into the pan on a low heat until deep, dark, and rich. Stir often. Patience is the secret ingredient.
04
Taste & adjust
Every batch is tasted throughout. Salt, spice, balance — adjusted by hand, not machine.
05
Jar & seal
Filled hot into sterilised jars, sealed immediately, and labelled by hand in our Northampton kitchen.
06
Quality check
Every batch rests 24 hours before dispatch. FSA compliant, Halal certified, customer ready.
