Fermented Green Jalapeno Chilli Mash | Gusa | Only The Best

Only Two Ingredients. Only the Best.

Gusa—meaning “Only” in Kinyarwanda—is more than a name. It’s our promise. One variety. Two ingredients. Grown, crafted, and perfected in Rwanda. It’s the epitome of simplicity, yet it delivers pure chilli and flavour—only the best.

Introducing Gusa Green Jalapeño Chilli Mash, a vibrant, flavour-packed chilli mash that delivers fresh, grassy heat with a bright, tangy edge.

Gusa Green Jalapeño Chilli Mash is naturally fermented, made at the source in Rwanda, and crafted from 95% fresh Green Jalapeño chillies and 5% salt. There is no vinegar, no artificial preservatives—just clean, concentrated flavour and balanced heat.

Our customers appreciate the simplicity of our products, and with Gusa Green Jalapeño Chilli Mash, we’ve taken it a step further. With only two ingredients, it’s a testament to the power of purity and quality.
