Mcdonnells Classic Spice Bag of Ireland

McDonnells, Ireland's favourite curry sauce brand, has been making food taste great for over 30 years. Our delicious spice bag seasoning mix brings you a delicious mix of ground spices for that authentic takeaway flavor.

🌶️ Overall flavour profile

• Salty & savoury – the dominant taste (like seasoned fries)
• Warm, aromatic spice – from Chinese five spice (think cinnamon, star anise, clove)
• Mild–medium heat – from chilli flakes/powder (a gentle kick, not super hot)
• Slight sweetness – subtle, from the spice blend rather than sugar

🌿 Key flavour notes (what you actually taste)

• Five spice → warm, slightly sweet, almost “Chinese takeaway” aroma
• Chilli → light heat and a bit of smokiness
• Onion & garlic tones → savory depth
• Pepper & cumin → earthy, slightly spicy backbone
• Star anise & cinnamon → that distinctive takeaway smell and taste
