Products

Where do your spices come from?

Our berbere, mitmita, shiro, beso, genfo and single spices are produced in Ethiopia and packed fresh in Canada, using our family recipe. No fillers, no artificial ingredients.

What about the Clarified Butter (Niter Kibbeh)?

Our niter kibbeh is made from our family recipe. Fresh butter (αˆˆαŒ‹ ቅቀ) is clarified first, then simmered for hours with korerima, koseret, tikur azmud and nech azmud from Ethiopia, and strained. Butter from Ethiopia can't be brought into Canada, so every batch is made here.

Do I need to refrigerate anything?

Our spices keep for over a year in a cool, dry place. Keep the niter kibbeh jar you're using in a cool cupboard so it stays soft and easy to spoon, and keep extra jars in the fridge or freezer.

Are your products Halal?

We don’t sell meat products. Our spices and dairy-based products don’t require Halal certification.
