Harissa is the ultimate red pepper condiment and sauce that, with its spicy kick, transforms many dishes into a culinary delight.

Preserved doqq lemons are an authentic, and essential, component of many North African, Mediterranean, and Indian recipes.
These traditional doqq lemons (Citrus limonum Risso var. pusilla R), known in Morocco as citron beldi, or l'hamd beldi, grow in the Taroudant region outside of Agadir.
The thinner skin, and fragrant aroma, of doqq lemons, makes them the most highly prized lemons of North Africa. Paula Wolfert, an expert on Moroccan cuisine, considers them the crème de la crème in her book "The Food of Morocco".
These lemons have a delicate "zing", along with a tantalizing sweet and sour aroma, that is unmistakably and evocatively North African.
A few serving ideas:
They are so easy to incorporate into your recipes, simply give them a quick rinse under cool water to remove any excess salt, and then chop them up... you use the entire lemon, rind and all!
Note: preserving the lemons in salt removes the bitterness normally associated with the rind and pith... what you will find is a clean, bright, pure lemon flavor! Take a slice, pop it in your mouth, and see how magical preserved lemons can be!

Rose petals are one of over fourteen (14) spices added to give this Belazu Rose Harissa paste its complex and spicy taste. Harissa was originally a staple of Tunisian cooking but now it is used throughout North Africa as a seasoning. The rose petals provide a counter point to the chili heat, adding a richness and complexity you are sure to enjoy.
Harissa is perfect for adding to traditional North African tagines, and for stirring into couscous. However, this is such an extremely versatile product so do not restrict its use to only traditional North African recipes. You can use it as an added seasoning like salt and pepper to add complexity to your meals, and as a dip for bread, crackers, and vegetables.

A unique oil with a mildly toasted, nutty flavor. It is known as "the golden oil."
The Argan tree is unique to the South Western corner of Morocco and is called the "tree of life" due to the importance of this tree, and its fruit and oil, to Moroccan traditions and culture. This remarkable organic Argan oil is made by cold pressing the seeds inside the nut of the Argan fruit. It takes 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of fruit to produce just 1 liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of oil, meaning it is an extremely labor intensive oil to produce.
Once the fruit ripens, it is harvested and laid out in the sun to dry. The flesh of the fruit is removed, and the hard shell of the nut is cracked to remove the almond shaped kernels inside. These are gently toasted and, once cooled, ground in a stone ‘rotary quern’, similar to a stone pestle and mortar. The resulting nut paste is then massaged by hand to extract the luscious oil.
Rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acids, and with a high unsaturated fatty acid content (over 80%), this unique organic Argan oil is full of health-giving properties. Vitamin E promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails, and the unsaturated fatty acids are great for keeping the heart healthy and lowering cholesterol levels. Initial tests indicate it may reverse the metabolic changes that occur from a high sugar diet, thus being a natural aid in the fight against diabetes; and the high levels of antioxidants show promise in fighting cancer. It is light in color with a reddish tinge and it is milder in flavor than sesame or walnut oil, yet its taste is distinctly nutty. Traditionally used for cooking tagines and dressing couscous, organic Argan oil also adds a unique and wonderful flavor to salads and other North African dishes.
This organic Argan oil is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and is gluten-free.
Rural Moroccans always knew Argan oil was good for you, inside and out. They actually rub their faces with their hands after eating a couscous dressed with Argan oil. In the spirit of that tradition, we can also recommend it for its beauty uses!! Since this oil is organic AND "food grade" it is higher in quality than those other "cosmetic grade" oils on the market today.
This product may not be suitable for nut allergy sufferers.
Packed in France from Moroccan oil.
Ingredients: Organic Argan oil

Couscous is a type of semolina dish essential to North African cuisine. In Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya couscous is normally made in tagines, cooked in broth with vegetables and meat, usually lamb. In some regions it is cooked with harissa; a hint of spiciness adds complexity and depth to its flavor.
When someone mentions the word ‘couscous,’ yellowy hard wheat granules may first come to mind, however in some regions couscous is made from pearl millet, cornmeal, or barley. Barley couscous is traditional in certain parts of Morocco, and ours comes directly from Sale, Morocco. Barley couscous provides a more grainy texture and a nutty, natural flavor as compared to its wheat counterpart.
Barley couscous is perfect for people who suffer from wheat intolerance and its high fiber content makes it a great, healthy alternative to wheat couscous. It is a really versatile ingredient, serving as a great carbohydrate base to almost any recipe. Prepared with fish, meat or vegetables and served with a dollop of Rose Harissa, barley couscous is simply delicious.
Easy to prepare: put 3.5 ounces (100 grams) couscous into a bowl, pour 6.75 ounces (200 milliliters) salted boiling water or stock (vegetable or chicken is recommended) over the couscous, stir, cover, leave for 5 minutes, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, fluff up with a fork, and serve.
Belazu Barley Couscous has a subtle nutty flavor and is perfect for a low-wheat diet.
