Harissa Workshop in Nabeul: Live an authentic culinary experience

Nabeul, a gem of the Cap Bon, is renowned for its unique culinary heritage, with Harissa taking center stage. At NEAPOLYSSA, the Lassoued sisters welcome you into their ancestral home, Dar Abdelhak Lassoued, for an immersive experience into the heart of local traditions.

Discover the art of Harissa in an authentic setting

Harissa, listed as part of the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, is much more than just a condiment in Tunisia. It embodies an ancestral culinary heritage, passed down from generation to generation. At NEAPOLYSSA, visitors uncover the secrets of this iconic spicy paste, learning how to prepare it themselves.

In a warm atmosphere, the experience begins with a visit to Dar Abdelhak Lassoued, a historically rich place where the traditional architecture reflects the craftsmanship of Nabeul. Then, the hosts explain the two methods of making Harissa: the traditional and the modern versions. Each participant then gets hands-on to make their own Harissa, selecting local ingredients and following the techniques passed down by ancestors.

After preparation, it’s time for tasting! The freshly made Harissa is served with tabouna bread, extra virgin olive oil, and olives from NEAPOLYSSA's farm, offering a delicious and authentic moment. Each participant leaves with their jar of homemade Harissa, a culinary souvenir from their immersion into the Nabeulian terroir.

Delve into the traditional cuisine of Nabeul

To further explore this culinary journey, visitors can also take part in a traditional cooking workshop, where Harissa is the star ingredient. This workshop is a true invitation to discover the emblematic recipes of Nabeul and master the techniques that make this local cuisine a success.

The experience starts with a visit to the family home and an introduction to the dishes to be prepared. Participants learn to cook local specialties like Chakchouka Nabeulienne, Torchi, and Ommek Houria, using local produce. After the preparation, a lunch is shared in a friendly atmosphere, where every bite tells the story of authentic craftsmanship.

A sensory journey into the heart of the terroir

At NEAPOLYSSA, the experience goes beyond cooking. The house is full of terroir treasures that visitors can discover and take home with them. Artisan Harissa, extra virgin olive oil, natural soaps made with olive oil, and floral waters like orange blossom, geranium, and rose are just a few of the products that extend this unforgettable sensory experience.

This immersion into the world of oleotourism and local traditions makes NEAPOLYSSA a must-visit address in Nabeul. Between history, culture, and gastronomy, each visitor leaves with a unique experience, a true journey into the heart of Tunisian flavors.
