Roman Spice

Roman spice, the mild Mediterranean family blend for pizza, pasta and tomato sauce

Roman spice is our mild, harmonious Mediterranean blend for the whole family. We mix the fifteen ingredients in our manufactory in Klingenberg am Main: garlic, paprika flakes, tomato flakes, basil, sweet paprika, celery seed, black pepper, oregano, coriander seeds, myrtle, fennel, star anise, bay, thyme and rosemary. Together they make a round, uncomplicated seasoning that tastes of Italy.

How to use

Roman spice is the all-round seasoning of Italian cooking. Season pizza, pasta, lasagne, tagliatelle and spaghetti with it, add it to tomato and pasta sauces, over Mediterranean salads, fried potatoes and potato wedges, or stir it into dips and dressings with cream cheese, yoghurt or olive oil.

Good to know: The blend is mild and so ideal for the whole family. Add it early in cooking so the herbs fully unfold.
