Our own Kharcho Soup Spice Blend is designed for those who appreciate real taste, quality ingredients and the authentic feel of home cooking. Each blend is carefully hand-mixed in Latvia , using only high-quality spices from trusted suppliers.
 

 
 This is not just a spice blend – it is our take on the rich and aromatic cuisine of the Caucasus. Traditional kharcho soup is known for its warming character, expressive aroma and deep taste. We wanted to preserve the classic nuances of kharcho, while creating a balanced and modern version that is also perfect for Baltic cuisine.
 
 That's why we chose to combine:
 
 🌿 coriander, basil, dill and parsley for freshness
 🌶️ smoked paprika and chili for heat and depth
 🫚 Greek yogurt for an authentic Caucasian taste
 🧂 black pepper and bay leaves for a rich aroma
 ✨ cinnamon and mint for a special, nuanced aftertaste
 

 
 The result is an aromatic, rich, and harmonious blend that gives the kharcho soup real character and the feel of a homemade meal.
