Collected Foods Premium Rose Harissa is a small-batch Moroccan-inspired spice blend combining Aleppo chiles and real rose petals to give savory dishes smoky heat and floral complexity.

This 2 oz jar is blended in 50 lb batches in New York City by Collected Foods’ chef team, delivering a ready-to-use dry seasoning that brings layered warmth, bright fruitiness, and delicate floral notes to everyday cooking. The mix is non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and contains no filler oils or artificial preservatives. Use it as-is as a finishing seasoning, bloom it in oil or honey to make a paste, or grind it finer for rubs and sauces.

How will this rose harissa change my weeknight meals?

The seasoning adds immediate depth and interest without extra prep—smoky Aleppo pepper and dried rose petals combine to lift meats, roasted vegetables, and grain bowls. A little goes a long way, so it’s easy to experiment with balance and heat.

• Sprinkle over roasted carrots or cauliflower before finishing under the broiler for caramelized edges and floral lift.
• Fold into yogurt or labneh for an aromatic dip served with warm flatbread.
• Mix with olive oil and lemon as a quick marinade for chicken or salmon.

What’s the simplest way to turn the blend into a harissa paste?

Bloom the dry mix in a warm neutral oil or a touch of honey to release its aromatic oils and meld flavors into a spreadable paste. Adjust oil, water, or vinegar to reach the texture you want—thin for dressings or thicker for marinades and dips.

• Heat 2–3 tablespoons olive oil, stir in 1–2 teaspoons of spice, and simmer 30–60 seconds to bloom flavors.
• Add lemon juice or vinegar, and a pinch of salt, then blend for a smooth paste.
• Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to two weeks when mixed with oil.

Can I use this blend as a dry rub or in baked dishes?

Yes—its dry form is ideal for rubbing on proteins or mixing into breadcrumbs and doughs. For a consistent coating, pulse the flakes to a finer powder and combine with salt, sugar, or other spices as desired.

• Grind flakes into powder for an even, clinging dry rub on steaks or lamb.
• Stir into biscuit or cornbread dough for unexpected warmth and floral notes.
• Mix with olive oil and use as a glaze on flatbreads and roasted vegetables.

How does the flavor profile work with different cuisines?

The blend’s smoky-fruity-pepper character is versatile across Mediterranean, North African, and modern American dishes. The rose petals introduce a subtle floral resonance that complements citrus, yogurt, and tomato-based recipes without overpowering them.

• Enhances shakshuka or tomato stews with layered warmth and aroma.
• Brightens grain salads like couscous or farro with floral complexity.
• Pairs well with honey, tahini, and garlic in dressings and sauces.
