THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
The name "Tolia Foods" captures our mission essence perfectly, as "Tolia" means "let’s eat" in Lingala, a Bantu language spoken in the Congo. I see "Tolia" as more than just a word; it’s an invitation to enjoy great food, good company, and a cheerful atmosphere. In addition, Tolia Foods is a reminder to eat foods that nourish our bodies, it reminds us to "Eat Real Foods".
Being from the province of Equateur, where my parents are from, I embrace the local tradition of cooking and sharing meals. In our culture, we ensure that everyone eats well and has plenty to take home. Through Tolia Foods, I aim to share this culture of hospitality and the vibrant flavors of my Central African roots with a personal creative twist.
Cheers to real foods,
