I'm in Kigali for a few weeks' work, and yesterday I very happy to discover their crème fraîche, which is stocked at the Nakumatt here and is the only cream available. I bought three containers. It's very thick and it has a sharp edge almost like sour cream or yogurt, but it still makes a terrific addition to my coffee. I haven't tried their mozzarella yet but it sounds great AND it's available here so that's up next :-) Thanks for writing about the story behind the product!

Even shredded coconut, oddly enough. I have been on a muffin kick lately, and basically any sweet bread can become a muffin, so I’m going to make these soon.

also, it's not even warm enough to PLANT our herbs yet here – although it is >70 degrees today!
