Hand blended in small batches! If you’re tired of using the same old spice blends over and over again, then one thing you need to add to your spice rack is Ras el hanout. A medley of fragrant spices to be used in tagines, as a marinade and much more. Ras el Hanout is not a spicy spice blend, but it gives a pungent, warm flavour. The cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg also add sweet accents. Literally translated as “head of shop,” legend has it this Moroccan spice blend was created by North African spice dealers who would mix together the best of what they had on offer, thus creating a heady, aromatic signature blend.
