Flavors of North Africa

Take your tastebuds across the world, and try your hand at North African cooking—a unique fare of flavorful, exotic dishes that hail from Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Western Sahara.

Across North Africa, the traditional foods are still prominent. Olives and olive oil, preserved lemons, harissa sauce (the heat of North Africa; available as a chili paste or sauce), garlic, couscous, onions, oranges, dates, figs and lamb are universal. 

The tagine is a true symbol of North Africa. The word refers to both the cooking vessel, with its plate-like bottom and conical lid, and the dish that is prepared in it. A tagine may be made from meat, fish or vegetables, and is usually a well-spiced stew, thick with tender, slow braised foods.

This spice mixture is a subtle balance of exotic sweet spices and savory herbs, such as turmeric, paprika, saffron, cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon and parsley.

Our North African gourmet collection offers many of the staple ingredients you need to prepare several different recipes, both traditional and unique.

This hand-picked collection will include North African-style cooking essentials such as extra virgin olive oil, couscous, tahini, jarred mezze, spice rubs and harissa.
