Also known as ‘harissa arbi’ or ‘diari’ in modern Tunisian vernacular, traditional harissa is a staple found on the table and in everyday cookery. It is not a watery sauce but rather a thick, sun-dried chili paste bursting with flavor.
Includes 3 versions of Traditional Harissa:
• Mild: all the harissa flavor without the heat
• Smoky: a deep level of smokiness complemented by a medium level of heat
• Spicy: a delicious, classic Tunisian punch of heat

"Being Tunisian on my mother’s side, I just had to order and find out for myself if your harissa and shakshuka were the real deal. So happy to say YES! Your products are so delicious and authentic that I ordered some for my best friend in Brooklyn. (I live on the West Coast. ) Her husband texted me a picture of the potato zucchini shakshuka they made for dinner last night with the one-word review: fantastic. Your products are great. Fast shipping, too."
"Having lived in Turkiye for years and traveling extensively through the Med. , and Northern Africa I have finally found an authentic, flavorful and spicy Harissa. It blew me away since I thought I had a great formulation. Zwita blows grocery store blends and other imports off the shelf. I use harissa for so many applications and I guarantee with Zwita you will be changed for life."
"I’ve tried so many brands but nothing tastes as good or is at potent as Zwita!"
"I found the taste and consistency of this harissa to be heads and shoulders better than any I have had previously."
"Amazing! So good I am taking some back for my Tunisian friend in the UAE, and riding more for myself to take with me."
"Zwita is an absolute gem. The quality, attention to detail, and overall experience truly stand out. You can tell there’s passion behind everything they do. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something unique and well-crafted. Harissa spicy my favorite ❤️"
"Most prepare harissa is too spicy for our family. The Zwita mild harissa works beautifully for us, not too spicy but tons of flavor with enough zing! to make it interesting."
"I want to place an order but can’t find the number of jars constituting the $34+ order."
"I'm obsessed with this harissa. It's SO good."
"I was pleasantly surprised how thick, spicy and a perfect balance of spices…not your typical overpowered garlic taste… I use it mixed with basmati rice and some hummus."
- Our Mild Harissa is not spicy at all. It's all the harissa flavor without the heat.
- Our Smoky Harissa has a medium level of heat. It has a deep level of smokiness that makes it a fan favorite among those that can handle a little heat.
- Our Spicy Harissa is the classic version. Traditional harissa is typically hot so this one definitely packs a punch of heat. We like to think of it as having a balanced level of heat; it’s not meant to overwhelm your palate but it is definitely there and will linger a bit. If you love spiciness, it will keep you coming back for more.
