 Above average BerbereJan 11, 2007
By Sean Boocock
This is a fairly decent, commercial berbere mixture. It has a fair bit of heat, owing to a large amount of cayenne/red pepper flakes (some of which seemed to have missed the grinder). The balance in flavors isn't what you would expect from a fresher product or if you ground/toasted your own spices but it gets the job done particularly if you like your wats spicy. However, for the price this isn't a good value. The American Spices Berbere sold here has a deeper, balanced flavor profile and is vastly cheaper than this product.

 A spicy little shell game!Feb 16, 2009
By Topanga Rose
This Zamouri berbere spice that i received did NOT have the same list of ingredients that are listed here for their Berbere. It contains no chili peppers even though Berbere should contain five (5) different peppers; but unfortunately this mix DOES contain BOTH cumin AND tumeric.
Most ardent Ethiopian foodies know NOT to include tumeric with the cumin in Berbere spice. They are not used together in the same dish. Ethiopian dishes are made with one or the other, but not both. Also. the ingredients were listed in a completely different sequence, which changes the taste considerably, not to mention how much the lack of chili peppers changes the balance, keeping it way too bland, and without any heat.
Fortunately, i live in Los Angeles where there is an Ethiopian section of town where injera and classic berbere can be purchased. I ordered a lot of Moroccan spices from Zamouri, and added the berbere just to try a new product.

 Just like EthiopiaJul 24, 2008
By Dudley Lamburt
While cooking my Doro Wat, the smells of Ethiopia filled my kitchen. This Berbere was an excellent mix of spices that closely resembled what I had in Ethiopia. It was a bit "sweeter" than I expected it to be, but I really enjoyed the dish that I made with it.

 As good as you can order onlineOct 26, 2007
By Stephen J. Mackenzie
You're probably not going to find too many products online
that'll beat this. But still not half as good as fresh.
light tasteFeb 26, 2012
By VDel
I liked the taste but I was dissapointed that is so light. I had to add 3 tablespoons in a recipe that needs less than 1 tablespoon to get the flavor. It tastes good, but very light.
