Organic Baharat Middle Eastern Spice Blend

Product description

Organic Baharat from Biova is a Middle Eastern spice blend with warm, gently spicy and citrus-fresh notes. Visible nigella seeds add texture and an authentically Near Eastern character.

This carefully balanced blend of organically grown spices such as paprika, cumin, nigella, mace, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and star anise creates a complex yet harmonious flavour profile. Biova relies on certified organic raw materials and gentle processing to preserve the essential oils and natural aromas as much as possible.

In the kitchen, this organic Baharat spice mix enhances meat dishes, vegetables, pulses and plant-based alternatives alike. Just a few pinches give everyday dishes, dips or hot drinks a finely tuned Middle Eastern note without overpowering the natural taste of the ingredients.

Origin

The recipe is inspired by traditional Baharat blends from the Middle East and is developed and blended by Biova in Germany. The organic spices come from selected growing regions with suitable climates and verified quality standards.

Cultivation / production / harvest

Each spice is grown in accordance with organic standards and harvested at optimum ripeness. After drying, the spices are gently cleaned, precisely milled and accurately blended at Biova’s production facility before the mix is packed in aroma-protective packaging.

Special features

A defining feature is the visible nigella seeds, which contribute both flavour and an appealing texture in the finished dish. The combination of warm spices such as cinnamon, cloves and allspice with fresh citrus notes from orange and lemon peel makes Biova’s Baharat blend versatile and easy to dose.

Differences in origin and processing

Baharat blends vary widely from region to region in heat, sweetness and composition. The version produced by Biova in Germany focuses on a well-balanced interplay of heat, spice and freshness so that the aromas unfold quickly and evenly throughout the dish.

Taste & aroma

The blend smells warm, spicy and slightly sweet with notes of paprika, cumin, cinnamon and nigella, lifted by delicate citrus accents. On the palate it delivers mild to moderate heat from chilli, wrapped in aromatic spice with hints of cloves, allspice, ginger and cardamom.
