Burlap & Barrel New Harvest Turmeric
We love that Burlap and Barrel's New Harvest Turmeric doesn't have the flat metallic bitterness typical of other brands; rather, its bitter notes add woodsy depth to this complex spice. In cooking, this turmeric does so much more than add a yellow tint to curries.
Burlap & Barrel Turkish Oregano Buds
Hand-harvested just before they flower, these delicate oregano buds have the robust flavor you'd expect from the spice: peppery and minty, but grounded by herbal notes. But where conventional oregano leaves can have a medicinal pungency, Burlap and Barrel's product is less bitter, with a pronounced zesty quality and slight heat that reminds us of mouth-tingling Sichuan peppercorns.
Burlap & Barrel Royal Cinnamon
Also known as Saigon cinnamon, Royal Cinnamon is a hard-to-find heirloom variety that comes from the mountains of central Vietnam. Our recipe developers agreed it was the sweetest and brightest cinnamon we have ever tasted, with an aroma you can smell from across the room. It's clean-flavored and boldly spicy-sweet, yet with a delicate quality. To fully appreciate its flavor, we recommend trying Royal Cinnamon first in simple applications.
Burlap & Barrel Tanzanian Pemba Cloves
These organic sun-dried cloves are grown by a cooperative of small artisan farms in the islands of Zanzibar and come from some of the oldest clove trees in the world. Burlap and Barrel is the only U.S. importer of cloves from Zanzibar, which was once the world's largest producer of the spice but has been overshadowed by industrial farms that utilize plantation-style cultivation. Hand-picked and hand-sorted for consistently high quality and peak freshness, Pemba cloves have a lighter, more floral aroma and uniquely fruity flavor compared to the woody, earthier notes of conventional cloves. And because Zanzibari cloves have a significantly higher percentage of essential oils than other varieties, these distinct characteristics are even more pronounced.
Burlap & Barrel Tanzanian Ground Cinnamon Verum
This single-origin Ground Cinnamon Verum from the Zanzibar islands is Ceylon cinnamon, also known as true cinnamon for its superior quality, delicate flavor and health benefits. We love how the aroma is noticeably sweeter and more floral than conventional cassia cinnamon—this product is also fresher than other brands we've tasted, so you can fully appreciate its unique characteristics.
