Ajika Spice

Ajika is a vibrant, aromatic spice blend originating from the Caucasus region, particularly Georgia and Abkhazia. This fiery condiment combines the heat of red chili peppers with aromatic herbs like fenugreek, coriander, and dried mint, along with garlic and walnuts for richness and depth. Traditional ajika is prepared by grinding dried chilies with fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and sometimes nuts into a coarse paste. The resulting blend offers an intense, complex flavor profile that's simultaneously spicy, herbaceous, and slightly tangy. Used as a marinade, condiment, or cooking ingredient, ajika adds bold character to meats, vegetables, and stews, bringing the distinctive flavors of the Caucasus to your kitchen.
