The Middle Eastern Origins of Dukkah
Ingredients That Make Our Dukkah Special
- Almonds and Walnuts: These nuts provide a rich, nutty base, adding a delightful crunch and depth to the blend.
- Fennel Seed: Known for its sweet, aniseed-like flavour, fennel seed adds a unique aromatic note that complements the other ingredients.
- Coriander Seed: With its citrusy, slightly sweet taste, coriander seed enhances the overall complexity of the Dukkah.
- Cumin: This spice adds a warm, earthy undertone that is essential to many Middle Eastern dishes.
- Himalayan Salt: Known for its purity and mineral content, Himalayan salt enhances all the flavours in the blend.
- Black Peppercorns: These add a subtle heat and peppery kick, balancing the sweetness of the other spices.

Flavour Profile: Warm & Nutty with Aniseed Highlights
Our Dukkah offers a warm, nutty flavour profile with prominent aniseed highlights from the fennel seed. The combination of almonds and walnuts provides a rich, satisfying base, while the coriander and cumin add layers of complexity.
