Pilaf Rice Spice Blend – Premium Aromatic Seasoning

Pilaf Rice Spice Blend — The Aromatic Soul of Culinary Travels

At Sambavanilla, we love telling stories- and our Pilaf Rice Spice Blend is no exception. Inspired by Middle Eastern and Central Asian traditions, pilaf (or pulao) is an ancient culinary art: sautéed rice gently infused and simmered in fragrant broth. The word “pilaf” evokes spice caravans, market stalls, desert warmth, and generous family cooking.

A Rich, Comforting Aroma

The Sambavanilla blend combines salt, garlic, onion, mustard, red and green bell peppers, celery seeds, basil, parsley, chives, and a touch of cellulose for stability. This unique aromatic profile offers:

• Soft, herbal notes from chives, parsley, and basil — a fresh green balance.

• A light spicy lift from mustard, enhancing the flavor without overwhelming it.

• Warm depth from garlic and onion, creating a rich, flavorful base.

• Sweet, crunchy undertones from dried bell peppers.

• A subtle aromatic touch from celery seeds, adding character without heaviness.

This blend melts beautifully into rice, adding savory, flavorful depth to every bite.

Ingredients:
