Chinese Five Spice

Description: A timeless blend of Chinese spices that delivers warming, sweet-spicy flavors and aromatic depth to everything from stir-fries to baked goods. The name ‘Five Spice’ (五香 - wǔxiāng) does not refer to the number of spices contained in the blend but rather its ability to balance all five taste elements: sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and savory. As a cornerstone of Chinese cuisine, this essential blend is found across nearly every regional style, from Cantonese braises to Fujian soups and Beijing roast duck. Its versatility and depth of flavor make it a must-have for anyone looking to authentically recreate or innovate with the rich culinary traditions of China.While Chinese Five Spice recipes vary by region, most share a similar foundation. A notable exception is the Sichuan province’s version, which replaces the common ginger with the bold, numbing tingle of Sichuan peppercorns. Our handcrafted blend of premium ingredients stays true to the classic and versatile Northern style,
