LOFF® by EssieSpice – West African Jollof Rice Simmer Sauce | EssieSpice

The secret to perfect Jollof rice — slow-roasted, West African-spiced, and made with a little magic.

LOFF® by EssieSpice – Authentic West African Jollof Rice Simmer Sauce

LOFF® takes all the guesswork out of making the one, the only, Jollof rice — the iconic burnt-orange rice dish made with lush tomato sauce infused with West African and Northern Ghanaian spices, peppers, garlic, and magic. Slow-roasted and crafted by EssieSpice, this simmer sauce brings authentic West African flavor to your kitchen in minutes. But don’t stop at rice — LOFF® is a slow-roasted tomato base that transforms soups, stews, pasta, bolognese, and pizza into something extraordinary.

Flavor Profile

A rich, slow-roasted tomato base anchors the sauce, deepened by sundried tomatoes and tomato paste. Scotch bonnet peppers deliver a bright, fruity heat, while West African spices — grains of selim, sumac, smoked chili peppers, and nutmeg — add layers of warmth, earthiness, and aromatic complexity. Garlic, shallots, ginger, and coconut oil round out a sauce that is deeply savory, beautifully spiced, and unmistakably West African.
