May everyone be able to celebrate where they come from. That is our purpose.

We were born so that the food of Africa has a place on every table in the world.

Our Story

It all started with a longing: the longing for a taste of home when home is far away.

Louise and Justine Basse were born in Senegal and grew up in Murcia. Like many Africans living far from home, they know what it feels like to long for a familiar taste: their mother’s cooking and the recipes that bring families together around the table.

In 2020, that longing became a purpose. Louise founded Mom Koumba with one simple yet ambitious idea: no one should have to give up the authentic taste of Africa, no matter where they live.

That’s why we bring the authentic flavours of an entire continent to your table. Part of every purchase goes back to Africa through partnerships with NGOs in the country where each recipe originates. Because true pride is about giving back.

This is more than a brand. It’s Africa at your table.

Louise Basse

Founder

Born in Senegal and raised in Murcia, Louise had the idea to bring traditional African sauces to Europe, especially to people of African descent who live far from home. Today Mom Koumba leads.

"I grew up far from my land, but never far from its flavor. This is my way of giving it back to everyone who feels the same way."

Justine Basse

Co-founder

Louise’s sister, born in Senegal and living in Europe since the age of 12. She is the voice of Mom Koumba in France and one of the two sisters who started it all.

"I was born in Senegal and grew up in Europe. Mom Koumba is where both worlds come together."
