Our traditional harissa paste is made by grinding rehydrated whole sun-dried chilis with fresh garlic and salt into a paste that is thereby mixed with a family blend of coriander, caraway, and extra virgin olive oil. The sun-drying process concentrates the juicy flavors of the chilis giving our traditional harissa a deep flavor and full-bodied texture that is incomparable to lower quality, industrial versions that use tomato products, fresh peppers, or re-hydrated chili powder as their base.
The mild harissa’s base is made of very mild chilis, making it not spicy at all. It’s basically all the harissa flavor without any of the heat. If you love flavor but can’t handle any heat, this one’s for you!

Say no to pseudo harissa
Also known as ‘harissa arbi’ or ‘diari’ in modern Tunisian vernacular, traditional harissa is a staple found on the table and in everyday Tunisian cooking although it is often misrepresented and culturally watered down to a ‘Middle Eastern’ or ‘North African’ sauce in the United States. We challenge this cheap co-opting with a thick, aromatic, garlicky sun-dried chili paste bursting with flavor; just like our ancestors did it.
Brief background of harissa
The term ‘harissa’ comes from the Arabic word ‘harassa’, which means ‘to pound’ or ‘to crush’. Traditional harissa was originally produced by the descendents of the Andalusian Jews and Muslims persecuted from Christian Spain towards the end of the 16th century who fled to various areas throughout Northern Tunisia; from Tunis to Testour to Grombalia. The custom of preparing and using harissa subsequently evolved from the Tunisian Cape Bon region and spread in all directions from northern Tunisia all the way to Constantine (present day eastern Algeria) and Tripolitania (present day western Libya). The art of making and using traditional harissa is practiced by artisans of the Tunisian diaspora to this day, a testament to its integrality in Tunisian history, culture, and identity.
