Mekelesha (መከለሻ)

The final touch that makes a pot of wot smell like home.

Mekelesha (መከለሻ) is the finishing spice blend traditionally added near the end of cooking, when Ethiopian stews are almost ready to serve. Warm, deeply aromatic, and slightly peppery, it brings together black cardamom, long pepper, cumin, cloves, and other whole spices to round out the flavor and give wot that unmistakable final aroma. Our blend is made with the same care and balance we grew up with, because sometimes the last spoonful of spice makes all the difference.

Ingredients: Black Cardamom, Black Pepper, Long Pepper, Cumin, Nutmeg, Cloves

Produced in Ethiopia. Packed fresh in Canada.
