Description: Pronounced ‘Bare-Bur-Ay’, this iconic seasoning is the cornerstone of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine, known for its unmistakable fiery heat and aromatic depth. Handcrafted using traditional premium ingredients and zero shortcuts, this authentic, all-natural blend transforms everyday dishes into bold culinary adventures.
At its heart, Tasmanian Spice Traders’ Berbere uses African Birds Eye Chiles (Piri Piri), to deliver an intense, spicy heat balanced by the smoky sweetness of smoked paprika. Unique, regional spices like Ethiopian Passion Berry, Korarima (Ethiopian Cardamom), and Timiz (Ethiopian Long Pepper) add complexity, while nigella seed, fenugreek, and ajwain provide earthy, herbal undertones. Warming notes of allspice, cinnamon, and ginger complete the blend, creating a seasoning as multifaceted as the cuisine it represents.
Ideal for adding a distinctive kick to slow cooked stews, lentils, roasted meats, and vegetables, Tasmanian Spice Traders’ Berbere also works beautifully as a dry rub or as a base for marinades and sauces. Whether you’re crafting authentic East African dishes like Doro Wot or experimenting with fusion creations, this blend delivers layers of heat and flavor that are unmistakably Berbere. Just remember—it’s not just hot; it’s Berbere hot!
Our proprietary Berbere blend contains no added salt, making it ideal for those managing their salt intake. Its versatile, no-salt formula allows everyone to season their meals to their exact taste, providing the freedom to adjust each dish to their liking. And besides, you get more of the good stuff in every container!
