Belazu Harissa & Pesto
A deep, earthy pesto built on porcini and other forest mushrooms, blended with olive oil, herbs and a savoury hit of cheese. Spoonable and intensely umami — closer to a mushroom paste than a classic basil pesto.
Rich and woodland-earthy, with concentrated porcini, a savoury cheese note and a smooth, buttery texture.
Stir through hot pasta, gnocchi or polenta; fold into risotto; spread on grilled bread; spoon over steak, chicken or roasted vegetables.

Belazu
Belazu began in 1991 when co-founder George brought a haul of fresh Provençal olives back to London; more than thirty years on it is one of the UK's most trusted names in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ingredients, known for working hand-in-hand with its growers for decades. Rose Harissa, prepared to a closely held recipe since 1995, is the product that put the brand on chefs' shelves — Yotam Ottolenghi calls for it by name in his books — combining roasted red peppers and smoked paprika with chilli and a distinctive note of dried rose petals.
