Spirulina or mint-infused honeys for drizzling over crêpes. And a variety of oils, sauces, and spices to spark your inner chef’s creativity.

On the chocolate and confectionery front, Hédonia continues to offer ultra-gourmet assortments throughout Ramadan. Beautifully packaged, they also make fantastic gifts.

The delicacies of Morocco

Among Morocco’s fine grocery stores, this one stands out for its selection of honey-based products, spreads, and semolina. Les Douceurs du Maroc offers the finest specialties from each region of the kingdom. During Ramadan, their honey and spreads are especially popular.

For the more adventurous palates, the orange and chocolate amlou, ginger-infused honey, or anise-flavored honey are sure to impress.

One last recommendation for soup lovers and energy ball enthusiasts: the boutique offers ancient and organic semolinas, handcrafted by women’s cooperatives. The zammita beldia or dchicha with seeds are perfect for preparing healthy alternatives to harira!
