Our spectacular Cured Sumac grows wild around Gaziantep, Turkey. It has a bright, sour, salty and slightly fermented flavor that comes from being packed in salt. This is one of our most popular spices among professional chefs and home cooks alike.
Cured Sumac is a classic Middle Eastern finishing spice. Swap it for lemon juice in any recipe or use it to add character and brightness to salads, fish, meat or dips. It also makes a perfect topping for anything from hummus to salad to roasted veggies or meat to scrambled eggs.
“Tart and vivacious, invigorating citrus-like finish.” Bon Appetit

United StatesNew Favorite Versatile Spice
First time ordering and trying Sumac, but it’s quickly become a daily addition to my seasoning blends.
United StatesEvery Spice Over Delivers
I cannot say enough about how incredible each and every one of the Burlap & Barrel spices are. From things I thought I’d never really use, to ones I which came in other sizes, the depth of flavor is levels above any other spice I have ever used.

Not only is the cured sumac outstanding in flavor, it is stunning as a garnish for just about any dish! I do want to mention Burlap & Barrel offers stellar customer service...most likely the best I’ve experienced in eons. THANK YOU B & B TEAM!

Ordered Sumac as present for chef friend for Christmas. Beautiful spice- should have ordered 1 for myself, too. Can't wait to hear how she uses it. You had me with avocado toast! Many thanks. Fast service!
United StatesBest Spices EVER
I'm LOVING all my B&B spices! When I first read about you in Food & Wine, I wasn't convinced, but then I saw your great video with Mike from Pro Home Cooks. So glad I placed an order - and then another - and another - and give them as gifts to everyone I know! These are the best spices I've ever tasted. And I love the better business model that benefits the farmers more, plus it gets from farm to table faster so it benefits the customer as well. Thank you for starting this business!
