In recent years, the Habesha group in Europe has grown considerably. In East African cuisine, the product Tesmi is used for many dishes. In Europe, this is not readily available in the shops. The herbs are often brought from East Africa. Many mothers and grandmothers make this butter and the entire family comes along with a container so that they also have butter at home. This is how the idea of ​​Mama Habesha came about.

The Netherlands is known as a dairy country and with that also the good quality of the butter. Because this is known worldwide, Dutch Tesmi is often taken to family and friends abroad.
