If there’s one ingredient that carries the spirit of Tunisian cuisine it’s harissa. And not just any harissa, but Ziva’s handmade version, prepared in the same way our family has done for generations.
This spicy paste sauce isn’t just a condiment. It’s the backbone of North African cooking, the base note of countless Tunisian specialty dishes, and the taste memory of every Tunisian childhood. It’s what turns couscous into comfort, shakshuka into a celebration, and grilled meats into something unforgettable.
Ziva has perfected this recipe with love and intuition that only decades in the kitchen can teach. Her version of harissa is bold, smooth, rich, and deeply layered with flavor, made entirely from fresh, organic ingredients.
What makes this harissa truly unique? A family-kept ingredient passed down through generations, never written down, and never revealed giving this blend its signature twist that no store-bought harissa can match.
Hot sun-dried peppers, sourced directly from Mexico for their depth and heat.
Cold-pressed olive oil, organic garlic, spices, and Ziva’s secret touch.
No preservatives. No shortcuts.
Just the pure, ancestral flavor of the Tunisian sun in every spoonful.
This harissa will also appear throughout our upcoming cookbook, featured as the flavor cornerstone in many traditional recipes. From stews to marinades, spreads to side dishes, Ziva’s harissa is more than a sauce — it’s a heritage ingredient that brings our family’s table to yours.
