Premium Ras el Hanout Spice Blend
A complex blend of 24 roasted spices with warm, earthy and aromatic notes for tagines, meat, vegetables, couscous and rice. 🐪✨
Ras el Hanout is commonly translated as “head of the shop,” referring to a spice merchant’s signature house blend. Recipes vary widely, but they are known for bringing together multiple aromatic spices in one deeply layered seasoning.
SpiceBloom’s Moroccan-inspired Ras el Hanout combines 24 roasted spices, including coriander, cumin, cardamom, turmeric and nutmeg. The result is warming and fragrant rather than sharply hot, making it useful across meats, vegetables, grains, marinades and slow-cooked dishes.
Why You’ll Love Ras el Hanout
One carefully balanced blend brings together warmth, earthiness, fragrance and colour for a wide variety of savoury dishes.
24-Spice Blend
A combination of 24 roasted spices gives this seasoning greater depth and complexity than a simple single-note blend.
Warm Rather Than Fiery
Coriander, cumin, cardamom, turmeric and nutmeg contribute savoury warmth and fragrance without making chilli heat the main focus.
Versatile Across Savoury Cooking
Use it with lamb, chicken, beef, chickpeas, roasted vegetables, couscous, rice, soups and slow-cooked meals.
🇲🇦 Inspired by Moroccan Spice Markets
Ras el Hanout is a celebrated North African-style seasoning associated particularly with Moroccan cooking. Each blend can be different, with spice merchants traditionally creating their own combination. SpiceBloom’s version contains 24 roasted spices and is packed in Auckland, New Zealand.
