Curio Spice Company Rose Harissa — Cambridge, Massachusetts

Curio Spice Company is a woman-owned, B Corporation based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, dedicated to sourcing exceptional spices from small farms around the world and blending them into something genuinely useful and delicious. Their Rose Harissa is a refined, aromatic take on the classic North African chili paste — built on a foundation of dried chilies and warming spices, then elevated with the floral depth of dried rose petals. The result is a harissa that is complex, fragrant, and beautifully balanced: heat with soul. At $16.99, it is the condiment that transforms everything it touches.

The aroma is immediately captivating: dried rose, warm chili, cumin, coriander, and a whisper of smoke. On the palate, the heat builds gradually and lingers — never sharp, always layered, with the floral rose note softening the chili's edge and adding an unexpected elegance. Use it as a marinade for lamb or chicken, stir it into yogurt for a dipping sauce, swirl it into hummus, spoon it over roasted vegetables, or spread it on flatbread. It is equally at home in a weeknight dinner and on a dinner party cheese board.

The TRUFFLE PERLAGE® is a very innovative product invented by Tartulanghe. The Truffle Caviar is made from the black winter truffle juice, which is obtained directly from the fresh truffle during its cooking. This tasty juice is then reduced in small pearls through a very sophisticated technique called “sferification”. We obtain small pearls with the taste of the truffle and the same colour and texture of the caviar!

Use tips: try it on crostini bread or blinis and use it to garnish fresh cheese, hams and foie gras, fish carpaccio and fillets, soups and vegetable creams, cheese fondue, eggs potatoes, meat fillets and all dishes that combine with the truffle.
