Ready-to-use
Spice Blends
What blends are in this range?
The range includes 8 references, each calibrated for a specific dish or cooking purpose.
The roast chicken blend combines warm, aromatic spices that form a flavourful crust during cooking. Apply directly to the bird before roasting.
The grilled fish blend pairs light, herbaceous spices to enhance delicate flesh without overpowering it. It works equally well with white fish and oily fish.
The stock blend brings together spices with deep, vegetal notes, ideal for enriching a homemade stock or sauce base in minutes.
The pasta blend adds a spiced, Mediterranean character to a simple pasta dish. Stir it in at the end of cooking, directly in the pan.
The salad blend combines aromatic herbs and light spices to lift a vinaigrette or season a fresh salad straight at the table.
Zaatar is a traditional Middle Eastern spice mix made from thyme, sumac and sesame. Sprinkle it over bread with olive oil, serve alongside fresh cheese, or use it to flavour roasted vegetables.
Rose harissa powder is a dry version of the classic North African condiment, softened by the addition of rose petals. It adds a subtle, floral heat to meat dishes, vegetables or couscous.
Vadouvan is a spice blend inspired by Tamil cuisine, with notes of onion, garlic and mild curry. Use it to season seafood, pulses or rice dishes.
Why choose a ready-to-use spice blend?
A ready-to-use seasoning mix solves a straightforward problem: cooking with quality spices without needing to understand ratios or blend from scratch.
Every blend in this range is pre-balanced, which means a consistent result every time , no guesswork, no over-seasoning.
It is also a practical way to introduce new flavours into everyday cooking without building an extensive spice collection. One pack is enough to transform a simple dish into something more considered.
These blends are particularly well suited to cooks who want to experiment with less familiar flavour profiles like zaatar, harissa, vadouvan, without the risk of unbalancing a recipe.
Choosing from this range also means choosing traceable ingredients, grown on the Kampot farm, with no additives and no artificial preservatives. The ingredient list on every pack is short, clear and easy to verify.
How to use these spice Bbends in the kitchen?
Each blend in the range has its own best method of use.
The chicken, fish and salad blends are applied directly to the main ingredient, before or during cooking.
The stock and pasta blends are best added during or at the end of cooking, to preserve aromas that are sensitive to prolonged heat.
Zaatar and rose harissa lend themselves to freer use: as a table condiment, sprinkled over toast, stirred into yoghurt, or mixed with olive oil for a quick dipping sauce.
Vadouvan benefits from being bloomed for a few seconds in a drizzle of hot oil before adding the other ingredients. This draws out its aromas and develops its depth.
All of these blends can also serve as the base for a quick marinade: simply combine with oil, lemon juice or yoghurt for a ready marinade in under a minute.
