Our Rose Harissa has a slow-burning chilli heat, balanced with sweet smokiness that adds real depth of flavour to any dish. It is one of our signature ingredients and bestsellers, having been developed from a secret recipe back in 1995.
 

The name Harissa comes from the Arabic harasa, meaning ‘to pound’ or ‘break into pieces’. It is not far from a straight translation of the Italian pestare, to ‘pound’ or ‘crush’ – which is where we get the word ‘pesto’ from.
 Spicy, sultry Rose Harissa is one of our best sellers, famous in restaurant and domestic kitchens all over the UK. While Harissa is traditionally used in North African and Middle Eastern food, its slow-burning chilli heat, balanced with sweet smokiness means it is incredibly versatile.
