Traditional Moroccan spice blend from Terre Exotique, containing up to 30 ingredients that create spicy, hot, sweet, and sour flavours with complex yet harmonious notes. This essential mix for tagines, couscous, and pastillas features key ingredients including cumin, ginger, nutmeg, turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, and green anise, enhanced with rose petals for authentic North African character.
Ras el hanout literally means "the head of the store" — only highly qualified spice makers could traditionally create this complex blend according to ancient recipes. Originating from Morocco's imperial cities like Fes and Rabat, this sophisticated mix reflects over 1,200 years of refined gastronomy and elegant lifestyle. While essential for traditional Moroccan cooking, its warm, enchanting flavours enhance Western dishes with exotic depth.
