Spice House, the Queens spice company with global sources, has introduced spice blends made their countries of origin for the first time. Its herbes de Provence, a classic mixture of oregano, thyme, rosemary and savory, is notable because the herbs all actually come from Provence and provide forthright aroma and flavor. Similarly, its za’atar blends ingredients from Palestinian suppliers. These are both familiar on the spice rack. Less so might be köfte baharat, a Turkish mix of Urfa biber and silk chiles, with cumin, allspice, garlic, sea salt and sunflower oil to season kebabs. (Also try it in your next meat loaf.) In another direction is the company’s new dehydrated kimchi, made from Mama O’s Kimchi, to sprinkle on eggs, yogurt.
