Çiloğlu Food Company Spices. Crown the unique dishes of Traditional Turkish and International cuisine with Çiloğlu BAHARATLARI Geleneksel. A tiny amount of spice can dramatically alter a dish, adding distinctive flavor to otherwise bland ingredients.
Spices are aromatic flavorings from seeds, fruits, bark, rhizomes, and other plant parts. Used in to season and preserve food, and as medicines, dyes, and perfumes, spices have been highly valued as trade goods for thousands of years—the word spice comes from the Latin species, which means merchandise, or wares.
They’re sold in dried form, but that doesn’t mean spices last indefinitely; their strong flavors will dissipate over time, especially if exposed to light and air.
