Find answers to common questions about Amelework Baltena, our products, and getting in touch.

What makes AmeleWork Baltena products different from store-bought alternatives?

All our traditional spice blends and flours—like our signature Mitten Shiro, Shiro, and Beso—are meticulously handcrafted using authentic, locally sourced ingredients. We roast, grind, and blend everything with traditional care to ensure rich, genuine flavor and top-tier freshness that mass-produced brands can't match.

Are your products 100% natural and free from preservatives?

Can I buy your products if I live outside of Addis Ababa?

How do I know which Shiro blend is right for me (e.g., Mitten Shiro vs. standard Shiro)?

Our standard Shiro provides a classic, comforting daily flavor profile, while our Mitten Shiro features an elevated, carefully balanced blend of roasted split peas, chickpeas, aromatic herbs, and traditional spices for a richer, more robust taste.
