The story of a passion
The
love of the homeland, the longing for authentic African food, the
absence of an African grocery store in Winterthur were the decisive
factors that led to the creation of Osina Afro
Market. The company was founded in 2016 with headquarters in Winterthur.
Our subsidiary Osina GmbH Ldt. Nigeria is located in Lagos and does a
large part of the local purchasing in
Nigeria.
The entire African continent is so rich in fresh fruits, healthy
vegetables, the best nuts, special beers, delicious fish and so much
more. Our vision is to represent the diversity and
beauty of this continent in Winterthur.
Back to the roots
In Switzerland, we want to reconnect people from the African continent
with their homeland. Many people eat less and less of their domestic
food abroad because it is difficult to buy it or the quality is poor.
One customer said that since Osina Afro Market has existed, he has been
cooking his food from home again. That was one of the best compliments.
African cuisine
Africa
is a continent of 30 million km2, populated by more than 800 million
people, Africa has a variety of vegetation. From the rainforest to the
savannah, the variety of soils and climates offers a great variety of
African cuisine.
A festival of colours, smells and flavours in African cuisine is
associated with ancient knowledge and traditions. The African dishes are
variations of cereals, leaves, nuts, seeds, roots, tubers, vegetables,
fruit, etc.
Outside of Africa the products and the extensive knowledge about the
many extremely healthy foods are little known. Our goal is to rediscover
African cuisine and bring it closer to European consumers.
While discovering the African cuisine, you will also discover the
history, the cultures and the heart of Mama Africa.
Our products
Strengthening
Africa is a great concern of ours. For this reason we import many
products directly. Thus the money flows directly into the Nigerian
economy and creates jobs.
But we also sell local products, such as goat meat, flambéed with skin
to African tastes. Take a look at our wide assortment in the shop.
