Amasi (also known as Izankefu, Hodzeko, Magege, Mursik, Maas and Mabisi) is a popular fermented milk that is prepared by storing unpasteurized milk in a calabash or any other closed container. Historically, milk was one of the most important components of the Southern Africa diet, where cattle was, and in some areas still are, considered a man’s most important possession. As a form of preservation, most milk was soured into Amasi. In this documentary, our guests also show us two important by-products emanating from this process; Ulaza (Fresh Cream), Umlaza (Whey) and Umfuma (Lotion made from fresh cream). We also get to discuss the importance of Amasi within the dialogue of African Food. Shout out to Thamsanqa Sibanda for making this shoot come to life!

The goal of MMMC is to document and serve Africa's diverse food culture, one dish at a time. We believe that Africa has got unique meals that ought to be talked about, and most importantly, cooked consistently. We believe in the values of Ubuntu, Respect, Creativity and Minimalism. #Amasi
