Tooksies by Chef Alexa Von Strolley: A Jamaican Gourmet Line of Flavor and Excellence

Jamaica is known for its beaches, culture, and food that always hits. From jerk chicken to saltfish, the island’s cuisine is a full-on flavor journey—spicy, smoky, fresh, and bold.

Tooksies by Chef Alexa Von Strolley is a gourmet sauce and seasoning line taking that flavor global. Alexa’s known for blending island tradition with modern flair, and every Tooksies product is crafted with that same intention: to deliver Jamaican essence in a jar—elevated but never pretentious.

If you’re in Montego Bay, The Collective 876 is the best place to get a taste. Located on Main Street in Rose Hall, this designer marketplace carries a curated range of Tooksies favorites, from Sesame Please to Hot Truff and more.

Tooksies: Flavor, Innovation, and Island Soul

Created by Chef Alexa Von Strolley, Tooksies is rooted in her love of Jamaican food—with all its depth, vibrancy, and edge—and reimagined for the modern pantry. What started as bold experiments in her kitchen became a line of sauces, dressings, seasonings, and marinades that make Jamaican flavors accessible, crave-worthy, and current.

Whether you’re drizzling, dipping, or marinating, every product is crafted for ease without compromising flavor.

Signature Tooksies Products

1. Sesame Please – A Nutty, Creamy Seed Dressing

This one’s a fan favorite. Sesame Please is a rich, creamy dressing made from sesame seeds—bringing a smooth, nutty flavor to just about everything. While not traditionally Jamaican, sesame has long been part of local fusion cuisine through Chinese-Jamaican roots, and this product bridges those cultures beautifully.

Taste Profile: Nutty, creamy, silky, and savory.

Best For: Grain bowls, noodle salads, dressings, marinades.

Note: It’s not a toast spread or smoothie add-in.

2. Hot Truff – A Spicy, Elevated Finishing Sauce

Hot Truff brings the fire. It’s a bold blend of truffle oil, spices, and Jamaican Scotch bonnet peppers—fiery, rich, and refined. Whether spooned over grilled meats or stirred into pasta, it delivers complex heat with a luxurious twist.

Taste Profile: Spicy, smoky, umami-rich, with a lingering kick and velvety finish.

Best For: Finishing sauce for meats, roasted veg, pastas.

Not a marinade—it’s meant to shine on top.
