Harissa La Flamme Du Cap Bon Tunisie 14 oz [380 g]

Phare du Cap Bon is my gold standard. If that's 100, this is 90 to 95. It's maybe a tiny bit inferior, but it's hardly noticeable and it's totally adequate for my couscous. In short, it "tastes like harissa, which most of these pernicious imitations fail to do.You can't make harissa outside of the Levant, imo. It's made of three specific kinds of chili peppers, plus carvi, and it either tastes right or it just doesn't. Imagine some dumbscrotum making a concoction of jalapenoes, red bell peppers, and powdered cayenne pepper and selling that as "chipotle sauce." That's what I mean by "pernicious imitation."

Top notch harissa, superb flavor, and without the strange allspice/cinnamon of other blands, fabulous for concocting several Tunisian dishes. Very hot

The can arrived dented and was therefore unusable. I would have expected to be able to return it, but it is not returnable as it comes from Tunisia.

I have a friend who lives in tunisia. And when he asked me to try harissa.. I found this brand and he said absolutely! And I have brought 3 cans and make everything with it! LOVE IT!

I was not familiar with this sauce. It was in a NY Cooking recipe, soni bought some from Amazon. It works beautifully with honey or maple syrup as a pork glaze. I am now trying it in other things.

I ordered the small and large cans. Both arrived dented. The cans were not dented in shipping. Does Amazon have a protocol that prevents dented cans from being delivered? Seems that’s a hard NO. The harissa is nevertheless edible and tasty. But running the risk of botulism is not fun.

I have been eating this product for the past 40 years in Europe....It is delicious on lamb and cheese.....Made in France I have had to search places that had it. I am so happy I am able to get it...I order it often and just love it...Brings back many memories of my days of living in Europe................Great product.....CML

My husband is Tunisian and it's a taste of home for him.
