Product Description
PURPOSE
WHAT IS IT?
Qâlat-Daqqa, (Pronounced Kala-Daksa), more commonly known in English speaking countries, like Australia, that use it more, as Tunisian Five Spice, is an aromatic and a flavorant of foods.
EXPERIENCE
It’s a wonderful spice blend of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove that adds BIG aroma. The clove, pepper and grains of paradise contribute a little nutty spice and peppery pop on the taste track. Salt helps pick up the flavor, but it isn’t traditionally blended into the spice, as it tends to degrade the nutmeg after time.
CULINARY GEOGRAPHY
TRADITIONAL USES

THE BACKSTORY
Tunisia sitting on the road to so many sources of spices, like all countries where there is a lot of movement of goods from place-to-place, eventually developed a few common blends that people found generally pleasing. The five spices ofQâlat-Daqqa were commonly used in their cuisine independently. It’s a common blend, but very little is available in print about its history.
