Detailed description

Description :

El Manar Cap Bon Harissa is much more than a hot sauce: it is the symbol of Tunisian terroir. It is prepared from Cap Bon red chili peppers, garlic, caraway, and coriander, following an ancestral artisanal recipe passed down through generations.

History and Heritage of Tunisian Harissa

Born in the 17th century in the coastal plains of Cap Bon, harissa has always accompanied Tunisian meals, bringing warmth, intensity, and character to every dish. Mixed with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, it reveals its full aromatic power.

UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage — 2022

In 2022, Tunisian harissa was officially inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, consecrating its role as a symbol of conviviality, identity, and Mediterranean savoir-faire.
