The backbone of Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking, Berbere is a spice blend that encompasses the beautiful and distinctive flavor of the North African region. Spicy, peppery, and mildly sweet, our Ethiopian Berbere packs some serious flavor.
Use this flavor-packed blend to complement the inherent sweetness of any pork dish, or craft a traditional Ethiopian creation like Doro wot (Ethiopia's version of curry). Sprinkle some on roasted vegetables or whisk into olive oil for a spicy dry rub on beef, chicken or whole grilled fish.

I use this on everything. It’s so rich in flavor! I’ll be a repeat buyer.
Excellent. Made wings.
I ordered two spices for myself, Berbere and Saffron. Both arrived within two days' time. I had mistakenly not included an eligible discount in my order ( technology idiot that I am), contacted customer service. The problem was addressed and the discount was added very quickly. I am impressed with the great service and grateful to have had such a good experience. Spices arrived well wrapped and protected in the shipping box. The berbere is delicious, the saffron threads made a great saffron rice. The website has useful tips and recipes, too! Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support!
Delicious! And the bottle is very pretty
Thanks for the support!
I hadn't cooked with berbere before and it was a very tasty experience akin to an Indian food taste. I came in about 2 days after I ordered it.
