2 out of 5 stars A spicy little shell game!   February 16, 2009

This Zamouri berbere spice that i received did NOT have the same list of ingredients that are listed here for their Berbere It contains no chili peppers, but worse, it contains TUMERIC.

Most ardent Ethiopian foodies know NOT to include berbere and tumeric together in the same dish. Ethiopian dishes are made with one or the other, not both. Also. the ingredients were listed in a completely different sequence, which changes the taste considerably, not to mention how much the lack of chili peppers changes the balance, keeping it way too sweet without any heat.

Fortunately, i live in Los Angeles where there is an Ethiopian section of town where injera and berbere can be purchased. I ordered a lot of Moroccan spices from Zamouri, and added the berbere just to try a new product.



5 out of 5 stars Just like Ethiopia   July 24, 2008

While cooking my Doro Wat, the smells of Ethiopia filled my kitchen. This Berbere was an excellent mix of spices that closely resembled what I had in Ethiopia. It was a bit "sweeter" than I expected it to be, but I really enjoyed the dish that I made with it.

You're probably not going to find too many products online
that'll beat this. But still not half as good as fresh.

This is a fairly decent, commercial berbere mixture. It has a fair bit of heat, owing to a large amount of cayenne/red pepper flakes (some of which seemed to have missed the grinder). The balance in flavors isn't what you would expect from a fresher product or if you ground/toasted your own spices but it gets the job done particularly if you like your wats spicy. However, for the price this isn't a good value. The American Spices Berbere sold here has a deeper, balanced flavor profile and is vastly cheaper than this product.
