Ethiopian Spice Company Information

We prepare and import organic herbs, spices, legumes and exotic blends essential for the preparation of authentic Ethiopian food. We have delighted the palettes of Bay area residents (San Francisco) since 1991 via our sister restaurant Café Colucci. Ethiopian food is unique, secretive, healing and deliciously good for you. We prepare our spices from shade grown, organic herbs and spices, sun dried and carefully blended using century old traditions. Ethiopians believes that food is sacred and healing and thus must be prepared with outmost care and respect. Tradition has it, one must eat with the right hand, must not be interrupted while eating, must be seated until the food tray is taken away, must wash hands before and after meals and must praise god before a meal. The Ethiopian kitchen is also mindful of religious rules in preparing meats and that food must always be shared with the less fortunate. Brundo provides the most authentic spices and herbs as well as prepared food such as seasoned clarified butter, dried injera and meats. We have also carefully compiled various recipes. Legend has it that Nigist Saba of Ethiopia (the Queen of Sheba) enticed King Solomon of Israel by bringing gifts of tantalizing secret spices and incense during her famous visit to Israel. Their romantic union produced a son, an heir to her dynasty, King Menelik I of Ethiopia. The secret of Ethiopian cooking has journeyed to far lands for centuries and that journey has now arrived here, for you to experience Ethiopian's ancient palette in your own kitchen.
