How to Use Harissa: First, What Is It? Harissa is a North African condiment containing mostly chili peppers, garlic and spices like cumin, coriander and caraway. It’s a paste that gives a lot of heat and spiciness, so it’s widely used in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.

PH Harissa in particular is an artisan take on this classic paste, often made with fresh, rounded ingredients and balanced, traditional recipes that highlight the nuanced flavors. The “PH” in PH Harissa, more ESPECIALLY, stands simply for the brand’s promise to deliver a quality product that honors the original type of harissa paste, while utilizing a modern approach suitable for the global food market of today.

The Origins of Harissa

To get to the bottom of Harissa, you first have to get to the bottom of where harissa comes from. Harissa, which originated in Tunisia, is a staple of North African cuisine. For centuries, it has been used in Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and other regional countries, largely as a condiment to give flavor to meats, stews and couscous. Many households make their own harissa, a family recipe handed down through the generations.

Harissa has been in the food consciousness more broadly over the last few decades — both because of the evolution of global tastes, as well as an increasing demand for more adventurous spices and flavors. Today, harissa is available in supermarkets and outlets throughout the world, and the spice-loving crowd can’t get enough of its unique flavor profile.

What sets Harissa apart is their attention to detail in preserving this rich heritage & providing a modern high-quality product. The mixture of chilies, garlic, and spices that make up PH Harissa is true to the condiment’s traditional roots, but is produced at a level of care to ensure that every jar or bottle delivers consistently robust flavor with every use.
