At N/UM, our journey is rooted in passion, tradition, and the belief that food is a powerful storyteller. Every crystal of our hand-harvested salt carries the essence of Africa’s land, sea, and ancient culinary wisdom—transforming everyday meals into extraordinary experiences.
Designed for both chefs and home cooks, N/UM salts bring out the best in every dish, offering a depth of flavor that enhances the natural ingredients they touch. Whether you’re searing a steak, finishing a salad, baking decadent desserts, or rimming a craft cocktail, our salts are the perfect companion. Their versatility and purity allow you to season with intention, elevating your cooking to an art form.
More than just seasoning, N/UM is an invitation—to explore, to create, and to experience the richness of Africa’s flavors in every bite and sip.
N/UM was born from a shared passion for Africa’s rich heritage and a vision to redefine its global image through gastronomy. Founders Chef Kudzai Bingepinge and Awa Kone first met in Zurich, where their deep appreciation for African culture and cuisine sparked an idea: to bring the continent’s finest, most authentic flavors to the world.
After two years of meticulous research and flavor development, they crafted N/UM—a brand that not only celebrates Africa’s diverse culinary traditions but also tells its story through taste. Every jar of N/UM salt is a tribute to centuries-old harvesting techniques, vibrant flavors, and the artistry of African craftsmanship.
Today, N/UM stands as more than just a gourmet salt brand—it’s a movement to elevate African gastronomy on the global stage, one flavorful dish at a time.
