Advieh Mahi
Persian cuisine is among the oldest in the world, shaped by centuries of rich cultural exchange and diverse influences from across Asia, Armenia, Greece, and Russia. This is especially evident in the Advieh Mahi blend—a traditional 6th-century BC Persian spice mix specifically crafted for fish. The word ‘Advieh’ translates from Farsi to mean ‘spice mixture’, while ‘Mahi’ means fish. With roots in ancient Persian coastal cooking, this blend has been perfected over generations to complement the delicate flavour of seafood. Its unique profile, combining earthiness, mild heat, and subtle herbaceous notes, makes it ideal for grilled, baked, or stewed fish dishes. Advieh Mahi not only reflects Persia’s vibrant culinary legacy but also highlights its enduring impact on global food culture.

Origin
Like all members of the Advieh family, the origins of our Mahi blend lie in ancient Persia—one of the world’s oldest civilisations and the heartland of modern-day Iran. With an empire that once stretched from Egypt to Greece and Turkey, Persian cuisine evolved with a rich tapestry of cultural influences including Armenian, Russian, Greek, and Asian traditions. This heritage is reflected in the unique flavour profile of our Mahi blend. The culinary legacy of Persia extends far beyond its borders—many dishes across the Middle East and India still carry Persian names and flavours. India’s spice-rich cuisine is widely believed to have been shaped by Persia’s deep-rooted passion for seasoning.
