A key feature of Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking, Berbere gives wats (stews) of meat, vegetables or lentils their signature flavour.

This classic East African blend is a fruity, fiery, powerhouse blend with strong flavours of chilli, cardamom and fenugreek. It is used in staples like doro wat (chicken stew) and misir wat (red lentil stew), and is typically eaten with injera, a fermented flatbread. Berbere's richness also complements red meat and oily fish.

Flavour Notes: Fiery heat, earthy, fruity

Black Lava Sea Salt gives a briny textural crunch and dramatic visual contrast to white, green and red coloured foods, such as fish, pasta, puréed leeks, tomatoes, turnips and potatoes. Large white crystals of sea salt are enriched with activated charcoal from volcanic areas in Cyprus, which turns it sensationally black.

Italian black summer truffles are combined with sea salt to create a blend that turns the most simple dish into a deliciously complex medley of flavours. While all truffle varieties work well with any cooked egg or mushroom dishes, black truffle is earthy and chocolatey, making it ideal for classic sauces, roast chicken, steak, potatoes, winter vegetables or hot buttered popcorn. So precious are the truffles, that Italian truffle harvesters protect their groves by using long winding paths at night or in the early morning fog to confuse potential followers.

Flavour Notes: Earthy, chocolatey, deeply savoury, rich

Bohnenkraut, also known as summer savoury, has a flavour akin to a combination of marjoram, sage and thyme. It is sweeter, more delicate and less bitter than its close relative, winter savoury. As its German name suggests - bohnen 'bean', kraut 'herb' - it is a must in any German bean dish, especially bean soup. In Bulgaria, it is mixed with paprika and salt to replace salt and pepper on the table and is called sharena sol, or 'colourful salt'.

Traditionally, a bouquet garni (French for 'garnished bunch') consists of fresh herbs bound within leek leaves. Our Bouquet Garni uses dried herbs which we recommend placing in infuser bags. Add to soups, stews and casseroles, and especially, use to make a good stock. Bouquet Garni is used in the preparation of many French dishes, including beef bourguignon, pot-au-feu, carbonnade flamande, lapin chasseur and bouillabaisse.
