Colombo is a spice blend traditionally used in Caribbean and Réunionnais cuisine. It takes its name from the city of Colombo in Sri Lanka, where the spices originate. The Colombo spices selected by Chef Philippe are specifically chosen for their quality and authentic flavour.

This spice blend is typically composed of several ingredients such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel, mustard, ginger, fenugreek, pepper, chili, cloves, and sometimes Indian bay leaves. Colombo is often used to season meat, fish, or vegetable dishes, including the famous Colombo chicken. This spice blend imparts a deep and spicy flavour, with prominent notes of turmeric and cumin.

Colombo spices can also be used in marinades, stews, or slow-cooked dishes. Chef Philippe has chosen these Colombo spices for their authenticity and their ability to enhance the flavours of Antillean and Réunionnais dishes. This ingredient combines the spices to achieve a harmonious balance of flavours and aromas characteristic of Colombo, to be dosed according to the desired aromatic intensity.
