A Heart. A Soul. A Story.
Meliza’s is more than a food brand, it’s a calling. Rooted in love, built on purpose, and crafted with intention, we exist to bring nourishing, African-inspired food solutions to homes around the world — one product at a time.
Founded in the UK in August 2024, Meliza’s was born from a deep belief that African ingredients deserve a bold, beautiful seat at the global table. Our first creation, Meliza’s Gold™ Plantain Pasta, reimagines a beloved staple, the plantain, into something fresh, natural, bold and unforgettable.
We are on a mission, and this, is just the beginning!
What We Do
We create plant-based products that celebrate culture, promote wellness, and make healthy eating easy and joyful. Every product we launch — from our plantain pasta to our upcoming sauces and more, is powered by plants, free from additives, and wrapped in eco-conscious packaging- with Mama Africa right in the heart of it.
