Moroccan spices

Flavour your cooking with our tasty Moroccan spices. Coriander, cumin and other oriental spices or mixes will take you on a journey through Moroccan cuisine,

rightly considered one of the most delicious, tasty and sophisticated cuisines in North Africa. Being a Mediterranean cuisine, many dishes are inspired by Berber cuisine with Arabic-Andalusian and Jewish influences.

Over the years, Moroccan cuisine has preserved its many unique cultural features, despite the use of oriental spices common to other cuisines. It has many similarities with other North African cuisines, but remains separate.

Moroccan cuisine has many specialities such as couscous, tagines, méchoui, pastilla, harira (soup), Moroccan salad and traditional Moroccan pastries, all signature dishes using many Moroccan spices.

Moroccan cuisine bears the influence of very spicy Asian and sub-Saharan African cuisines.

It is also very rich in pastries, often made with honey, almonds and oriental spices. Pastries are usually made by families for ceremonies, especially weddings and religious festivals.

Moroccan spices and Moroccan spice mixes play an important role in this cuisine. The most commonly used oriental spices are coriander, ginger, cumin, paprika, pepper, turmeric, nigella seeds, garlic, clove and saffron. Cumin is, without doubt, the most commonly used oriental spice. Many recipes recommend mixing Moroccan spices to give dishes even more flavour.

Onion and mixed herbs (mainly thyme, parsley, rosemary, fennel, laurel leaves, basil and oregano) are the key ingredients in Moroccan cuisine and serve as the starting point for many dishes. Moroccan spices enhance the taste of many typical dishes.

Give your dishes a Moroccan flavour.
