Swet Zhug is a modern take on the legendary green spice paste from Yemen – but in true Swet fashion, it turned into something entirely its own. The original zhug isn’t a sauce, but a fresh spice mix, and to be completely honest: they’ve never actually tasted the real thing. They just listened to stories, used their imagination… and created Brussels’ very own zhug. The result is a sauce that is deep, aromatic, and surprisingly smooth all at once. The hint of cumin isn’t overdone, just perfectly balanced, and the savoury roundness makes the flavour unexpectedly addictive. Within Swet’s range, this one is almost an exception – perhaps more classic than most of what they do, yet its flavour profile is unique and in a class of its own. Zhug pairs brilliantly with Middle Eastern mezze, falafel, and kebab, but it’s just as at home in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, chili con carne, or simply poured on hummus. Versatile, bold, and completely its own thing – exactly what you’d expect from Swet. Origin: Belgium Contents: 100 ml
