When you are looking to give body and/or a little oomph to your stew, chili, or pot roast Kalustyan's Berbere is the perfect addition. It does pack some heat, so for those of who have tender tongues, you'll need to be cautious in the amounts you use. But it is very, very tasty!

Warm and wonderful spice mix!
Yes, there is heat in this spice mixture, but the complexity and balance show through.

Kalustyan's is the only Berbere blend I trust
This is one of my absolute favorite spice blends! I bought one by the same name once for my sister, at a shop by her house, and it was overwhelmingly cayenne, none of the beautiful complexity and richness in this blend. Just the best!
