ÉCAF – A BAJAN TRADITION

Established in 1955, ÉCAF Products Co Ltd. has been around longer than Barbados has been an independent nation and is truly an iconic Heritage company. With Barbados now celebrating its 57th year of independence, ÉCAF is proud to have been a mainstay in Bajan homes for almost 70 years, with its tradition for providing great tasting, quality products to its customers at an affordable price.
ÉCAF was the pioneer in Barbados in the spice packaging industry. The founder, Mr. L.G “Darby” Hutchinson and his wife Sylvia started out by packaging freshly roasted coffee. Back then, coffee was sold by the spoonful in a piece of twisted brown paper for 5cents. Darby had the task of convincing shop owners that this new style of packaging coffee in heat sealed plastic bags was not only more hygienic, but it also preserved the aroma of the coffee. Coffee is actually how the name ÉCAF was born, as ÉCAF is an anagram of the French word for coffee, café.
As the demand grew for other packaged products, so did ÉCAF’s product line. The first addition was the famous ECAF Hot PepperSauce created from an old family recipe handed down and still being used today. Other popular additions include black & white pepper, chicken seasoning, paprika, nutmeg, cinnamon and clove and some herbs just to name a few. ÉCAF also offers a range of essences as well as its popular Mauby syrup and miracle seasoning. The extended product line gave rise to the need for the expansion of ÉCAF’s facilities. For this reason, ÉCAF was moved into a building on Roebuck street in 1956, a location that was once the hub for manufacturers and wholesalers in Barbados.
Still operating from its Roebuck street “home”, ÉCAF’s small but efficient operation allows them to service all of the major stores and supermarkets across the island, as well as many of the numerous shops and bakeries. Customers can still buy wholesale items, directly over the counter packaged in plastic bags and placed in brown paper bags for that feeling of nostalgia
ECAF’s success is largely owed to its dedication to providing the best quality products, and the invaluable support of its loyal customers, who continue to pass on this Bajan tradition to future generations. As ÉCAF marches on to its 69th year of operation, we urge Barbadians to continue to support the Bajan industry and Buy Local! Buy ÉCAF!!!
