Ras el hanout means "head of the shop" in Arabic — the best blend a Moroccan spice merchant has to offer, historically built from whatever twenty or thirty rare ingredients a shop had on hand. Ours is eleven, chosen so no single spice dominates. You're not supposed to taste cardamom, then cinnamon, then clove one at a time. You're supposed to taste all of it at once, as one thing.
Eleven organic ingredients: cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cassia cinnamon, allspice, turmeric, coriander seed, white pepper, cayenne, black pepper, and anise.
Rewards slow cooking — a lamb tagine simmered for hours, an overnight marinade before the grill. This isn't a blend that works in five minutes.

Storage and Shelf Life
Storage and Shelf Life
Storage: To maximize freshness, store in a dark airtight container in a cool dry place. Once the spice is ground, flavor deteriorates with exposure to light, heat, air, humidity and time. Here are rules of thumb about the shelf life of spices and herbs >
NOTE: The plastic refill bags are not intended for long-term storage of your spices. Due to the porous nature of plastic, the essential oils that are released when a spice is ground, may react with the plastic and/or labelling inks over time.
Refill bags contain the same amount of spice as in our small glass jars. When they arrive, simply snip the corner of your bag, refill your original Smith & Truslow spice jar, apply the new label, and recycle the bag.

Product Testing
Certificates of analysis (COAs) accompany our products through the supply chain. COAs identify country of origin, certifications, and information on product testing including microbial analysis and heavy metal testing.

As we only test ingredients, but not blends, we can only provide COA's on individual spices.
