The Mahjoub family farms the soil in the lush Mejerda Valley of Tunisa located on the southern shores of the Mediterranean. It is here that they produce handcrafted products under the Les Moulins Mahjoub label and are known for their steadfast commitment to artisan standards and sustainable farming. The Mahjoubs are recognized in the culinary world as one of the premier producers of artisan specialties.

There are many types of couscous on the market, but buyer beware: there are differences. M'Hamsa is actually hand rolled in the tradition of the Berbers, an ancient high mountain people who inhabited the current day area of Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria. This is like no other couscous you’ve tried…moist, full flavored and meaty. Toss in a few grilled or sautéed veggies and you’ve got a meal fit for a king or queen.

Features:

• The folks at Les Moulins Mahjoub—just like the Berbers of ancient times—mix semolina flour with olive oil, water and salt on screens, letting the small grains fall through, then adding flour and rolling again until a consistent size grain is formed.
  

• The couscous grains are then coated with olive oil and salt and dried in the sun, giving it a rich toasty flavor when cooked.
  

• The grains are all irregular and slightly misshapen.
• Certified organic
• Imported from Tunisia
