Whether you want to simplify your cooking or try something new, Belazu helps you build flavour in seconds. Stir into soups, swirl into yoghurt, dollop onto roasted veg, or use as a base for marinades and sauces.
Rose Harissa Paste
Belazu’s signature paste is made with smoky chilli, garlic and rose petals. It's known for its heat and floral depth, adding a unique twist to everything from shakshuka to roast meat. Stir it into a tomato-based sauce or use it as a marinade for chicken or lamb to bring out its smoky, spicy warmth.
This rose harissa can add a kick to desserts, too!
Black Olive Tapenade
Rich, briny and versatile, black olive tapenade is a great topping for flatbreads or in grain bowls for extra savoury depth.
Balsamic Sun-Dried Tomato Paste
This paste brings intense tomato sweetness to any dish. Use it in pasta sauces, blend it into soups, or spread it on sandwiches. It’s also great as a topping for roasted vegetables or mixed into risottos for a rich, hearty flavour.
