Opal was born and raised in Jamaica. She loves travelling and has lived in two other countries before settling in Toronto.

Everyone who knows Opal knows of her love and passion for food; her friends describe her as a foodie. She loves cooking and is inspired by wide range of food from different cultures. Despite her love for many different foods, patties is one of her favorite food.

A few years ago, Opal found herself craving patties and despite the abundance of patties in Toronto, she was unable to find a wholesome tasty patty, not a greasy snack, a patty that she could enjoy as a meal with a glass of wine. After an exhaustible search, she concluded that there is clearly a gap in the market which she was determined to fill. Despite being a good cook, Opal would not describe herself as a baker and had never baked patties or seen them baked before she came up with the idea of making patties, but she was open to the challenge of learning and soon became a self taugh patty maker.

It all began with a desire. After a long day at work, Opal came home wanting some quick, comfort food and a glass of wine. She wanted something that was quick and easy . . . . something she could heat and eat. It would not be too heavy, yet tasty and filling. She was craving a (Jamaican) patty.

Her exhaustive search for such a patty became a passion which led her to start Stush Patties.

Stush means proper; Proper means good.
