Because of its vibrant, nuanced flavor, Villa Jerada No. 1 is their favorite variety of this North African red pepper paste. This Harissa layers acidity and fruitiness with preserved lemons, a hint of vinegar, and tomato paste for a lively, tangy condiment, unlike many store-bought kinds, which have a one-dimensional hot flavor. Offerings from Villa Jerada are their love letter to the flavors of the Levantine region, a part of the world that is so much richer and more beautiful than many in the west are aware of. They are produced from the finest quality, most meticulously sustainable ingredients. Read their letters as vibrant chermoula, lusciously creamy tahini, necessary dukkah, and a ras el hanout that will warm your heart and brighten a gloomy day.
