AI Summary:
UNESCO recognised attieke’s icon status by listing the dish as an intangible cultural heritage. That move elevates the tangy meal to the status of other globally renowned culinary favourites like South Korean kimchi and Mexican tacos. Attieke is an accessible and affordable dish that has become a staple in family meals, UNESCO noted. It is often served at weddings, birthdays or other events, with a side of spicy pepper sauce, grilled or fried tilapia fish, and chopped onions. Ivorian women use their hands to fluff up the paste so granules form better. The dried paste is then spread out in thin layers on tarps and laid out in the sun to dry. Steaming takes 30 to 40 minutes. Florence Bassono, founder of Faso Attieke, won an award at an agricultural and animal resources fair in Abidjan. Many Ivorians were angered that a non-Ivorian national won the competition over local entrepreneurs. In 2019, the African Intellectual Property Organisation (OAPI) certified Ivorian attieke and its production methods by granting it PGI or “Protected Geographical Indication” status.
