Villa Jerada brings authentic Moroccan flavors to Seattle through founder Mehdi Boujrada's family recipes, crafted in small batches with organic ingredients sourced from his native Casablanca. This Good Food Award winner honors North African culinary traditions through meticulously sourced spices and condiments that preserve generations of flavor.
Harissa is a quintessential North African condiment – a paste or sauce produced from chili peppers, oil, and spices. Harissa N ̊1 is a Moroccan-style Harissa which is less chile-forward and features a melange of layered flavors from spices, fresh mint, tomato paste and preserved lemons. Mehdi's mother's own recipe.
While many Harissas on the market are made with vegetable oil, lots of salt and water, Harissa N ̊1 is made with the finest quality ingredients containing about a quarter of a preserved lemon per jar and high quality Organic Moroccan olive oil which give it its rustic style and unique texture, making it different from any other Harissa out on the market.
Flavor & Texture Profile: Spicy, bright & herby Moroccan chile paste with a uniquely thick, creamy and silky mousse-like texture – neither watery nor chunky. It’s easy to spread and easy to enjoy.
