From Côte d’Ivoire to Norway
Frozen attiéké from Côte d’Ivoire, picked up in Bergen.
Attiéké is fermented cassava semolina and an everyday staple in Côte d’Ivoire. EBURNI sells it in Bergen under the DABOU brand.
What is attiéké?
Attiéké comes from southern Côte d’Ivoire. The cassava is ground and mixed with fermented cassava into a semolina, which is then steamed.
The taste is slightly sour. It is eaten with fish, meat and vegetables.
In 2024, UNESCO inscribed the skills related to attiéké production in Côte d’Ivoire on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. UNESCO
How to eat attiéké
Attiéké is light and fluffy, with a mild, tangy taste. In Côte d’Ivoire it is eaten every day, like rice or couscous: with fish, meat or vegetables.
With grilled fish
The classic way. Serve attiéké with grilled fish, a fresh salsa of tomato, onion and chilli, and a squeeze of lime. Mackerel and salmon work well.
With chicken
Grilled or oven-roasted chicken with an onion sauce makes a filling meal for the whole family.
As a side
Use attiéké instead of rice or couscous: with stews, vegetables or a salad.
Tip: heat or steam the attiéké just before serving, and fluff it with a fork.
The story behind EBURNI
From the lagoon to Norway
Attiéké is part of everyday life in Côte d’Ivoire.
The name EBURNI comes from Éburnie, a literary name for Côte d’Ivoire, built on the Latin eburneus, “of ivory”. DABOU is a town on the Ébrié lagoon in the south. Its original inhabitants are the Adjoukrou, and attiéké is their staple food. The town has also hosted an international attiéké festival.
Attiéké is made by the lagoon peoples, traditionally by women, and the knowledge is passed down in families. EBURNI sells it frozen, with pickup in Bergen city centre. Nothing is shipped, because carriers do not guarantee the cold chain. The contents are on the label and on this page before ordering.
