GOOD TO KNOW

Ras el Hanout has its origins in the Maghreb, the countries on the north and west coast of Africa. The amazing scent takes you straight to a North African bazaar.

TASTE

The Ras el Hanout spice blend introduces you to a broad, typically North African flavor spectrum. The combination of ingredients creates the perfect blend of spiciness and sweetness.

Due to the spice blend's ingredients, the flavor is rather dominant and deep, with cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. The slight spiciness comes from ginger and pepper, creating a tangy sweetness.
