Belazu Ingredient Company Apricot Harissa
Belazu Ingredient Company Rose Harissa
Made with dried rose petals, this aromatic harissa has an amazing depth of flavor, with an up-front warmth that builds gradually. The subtle rose flavor doesn't overpower but rather enhances the other ingredients, layering botanical notes with earthy spices and playing up the fruity and floral notes of the chili.

Belazu Ingredient Company Rose Harissa Ketchup
Roses and ketchup? Don’t knock it until you try it! Rich and thick with a gentle warmth, this unique spin on ketchup combines the umami richness of Mediterranean tomatoes with the chili heat and floral nuance of rose harissa. It’s not watery like some other ketchups, but packs that same zingy brightness you know and love. The flavor is much earthier—with less sweet and sour and more deep umami. And the harissa contributes a special, smoky pepper flavor and noticeable, but manageable heat that truly sets it apart.
​Belazu Ingredient Company Urfa Chilli Paste
Produced in Turkey and sun-dried to enhance their flavor, the glossy, deep burgundy-colored chili flake has an earthy, cocoa-rich flavor with moderate heat level and stone-fruit finish to it. This fragrant paste is thick and spreadable and yields a bold, but not overwhelming heat. The heat level reminds of harissa, but offers more of a nuanced earthy flavor and bright spices than chili punch.
​Belazu Ingredient Company Roasted Pepper Tapenade
Although Belazu Ingredient Company calls this paste a tapenade, it doesn't have the concentrated salty flavor associated with most tapenades; it's also not made with olives and capers, the defining ingredients of classic French tapenades. Rather, Belazu's vibrant spread has a rich roasted pepper flavor (think mild bell peppers, not spicy chili peppers), with an extra sweet-umami basenote and buttery finish. Tomato paste, paprika and garlic complement the peppers and add savory dimension. The spread has visible bits of pepper pulp, but on the palate it has a silky, almost creamy consistency.
Belazu Ingredient Company Smoked Chili Harissa
Belazu uses its earthy Rose Harissa as the base for this bold and fiery chili paste, which has the perfect amount of smokiness from the addition of chipotle peppers. It's earthy but not overwhelmingly smoky, so you can still savor the fruity depth of the other chilies. The harissa's spiciness is complemented by rich balsamic vinegar of Modena and dark muscovado sugar, which bring out the natural sweetness of the chilies without overpowering the paste. Bright cinnamon rounds out the harissa, which we sometimes treat as a complexly spiced chipotle paste.
