Made from an heirloom variety of hard-neck garlic, which produces a more intense flavor than the typical white soft-neck bulbs you’ll find in grocery stores, this garlic powder has a way of kicking savory flavors up a notch. It’s grown by a farming collective in the northern Vietnam mountains before being hot air dried and ground into a fine powder. The garlic powder is much fresher than most others we’ve tried and along with that earthy allium flavor garlic is known for, there’s also a subtle sweetness, nuttiness and brown butter-like richness that truly makes it special.

100% garlic, ground (Allium sativum)

Net Weight: 1.8 ounces
Place of Origin: Cao Bằng, Vietnam

We like to use ground garlic powder in places when the moisture of fresh garlic is an issue—like meat rubs or spice blends. This one adds intense complexity to everything from stir fries, to sauces (especially tomato), to savory salad dressings, to avocado toast, to pizza. Mix with softened butter to make a savory compound garlic butter. A sprinkle into a creamy bechamel gives an allium kick without the texture of garlic. And shaken into a mirepoix of carrots, onion and celery make a wonderful base for soups and braises.

Co-founders Ethan Frisch and Ori Zohar began Burlap & Barrel—one of the U.S.‘s pioneering single-origin spice companies—in 2017 after coming across wild cumin in the remote mountains of Afghanistan.

Now the company partners with small farmers from Turkey to Tanzania to source ingredients that range from mint grown on the Euphrates River to cinnamon from Zanzibar. These smallholder farmers cultivate their crops using traditional techniques, often ones passed down from the generations before them.
