N/UM was born from a shared passion for Africa’s rich heritage and a vision to redefine its global image through gastronomy.
After years of meticulous research and development, our team crafted N/UM: a brand that celebrates Africa’s diverse culinary legacy and tells its story through taste. Every jar is a tribute to centuries-old harvesting techniques, bold regional flavors, and the artistry of African craftsmanship.
Today, N/UM stands as more than a gourmet salt brand, it’s a movement to elevate African gastronomy on the global stage, one flavorful dish at a time.
