Brazilian and Mediterranean spice blends

Brazilian blend: In November 2015, Arnaud moved to Brazil to learn vanilla farming firsthand. He founded Abaçaí and developed the Brazilian churrasco blend, perfect for crafting flavorful marinades for barbecues and grilled meats.

Mediterranean blends: Travel along the Mediterranean with Herbes de Provence or Ras el Hanout, a staple of North African cuisine for seasoning tajines and couscous thanks to its blend of turmeric, coriander, caraway, and cumin. Pair them with our Madagascar cinnamon sticks.

How to use a spice blend: expert guide

Using spice blends is a simple art to master for seasoning meats, wok stir-fries, fish, marinades, and slow-cooked stews:

Recommended dosage

Start with a small amount (about 1 teaspoon for a 4-person dish) and adjust to personal taste.

Timing

For slow-cooked dishes, add the blend early in the cooking process to allow aromas to diffuse slowly.

Optimal storage

Keep your jars in a cool, dry place away from light to maintain full aromatic freshness.

Create your own blends

Use our Madagascar black pepper, Sichuan pepper, galangal, or Brazilian pink peppercorns to compose your custom creations.
