Bring the authentic taste of Central Africa to your table with our convenient pack of Frozen Bobolo (often called Bâton de Manioc or Cassava Stick). This 2lb package contains three individually wrapped Bobolo sticks, offering true convenience and portion control.

Bobolo is a traditional Cameroonian specialty made from fermented and pounded cassava. The fermentation process gives the Bobolo a distinct, slightly sour, and earthy flavor that is highly sought after. Each stick is typically wrapped in its traditional leaf (though often replaced by food-grade film for freezing) and is fully pre-cooked and steamed, saving you days of preparation time.

Why You'll Love Our Bobolo

  • Quick and Easy: Simply reheat from frozen-no complicated preparation needed.

  • Authentic Flavor: Captures the unique, tangy taste of traditionally fermented cassava.

  • Versatile Starch: A dense, satisfying alternative to rice, fufu, or yam.

  • Gluten-Free: A naturally wholesome source of complex carbohydrates and fiber.

Serving Suggestions

Bobolo is a popular starchy accompaniment to many Central and West African dishes. Its firm texture and mild tang complement rich sauces perfectly. Serve it with:

  • Sauces: Groundnut Soup (Mboh), Palm Nut Soup (Sauce Graine), or spicy Tomato Stews.

  • Proteins: Grilled Fish (Poisson Braisé), smoked chicken, or roasted meat.

  • Vegetables: Ndolé (Bitter Leaf and Peanut Stew) for a classic Cameroonian meal.

Preparation Instructions

Storage: Keep frozen at -18°C (0°F) until ready to use. To Reheat:

  1. Remove the desired number of Bobolo sticks from the package.

  2. Steaming is recommended: Place the sticks (still wrapped) in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 10-15 minutes until thoroughly heated and soft.

  3. Alternatively, you can place the sticks in a microwave-safe container and heat for 2-3 minutes.

  4. Remove the wrapper, slice, and serve immediately.
