Our sweet, intoxicating Grenada Gold Nutmeg comes from a small family farm in the hills of St. Andrew, Grenada, famous for growing some of the world's best nutmeg. Grate with a microplane or grind in a spice grinder to add an incredible fragrance and complexity.

Tasting notes: Banana Bread • Cozy Spices • Wintertime

Cooking:

• Grate over cocktails and punches
• Grate into bechamel or other cream based sauces

Our piney, aromatic rosemary is grown organically in Provence by a cooperative of partner farmers. It boasts a rich, complex, clean flavor that is the result of both careful farming practices and a superlative terroir. It's harvested in early summer, when the small, verdant needles are cut and dried as they ripen to a brilliant green. We pack it as quickly as possible to preserve the delicate oils that give this herb its signature citrus-peel flavor.

Tasting notes: Juniper • Citrus Peel • Pine Forest

Cooking:

• Sub for fresh rosemary in any recipe
• Add to soups and stews
• Use in braises for chicken, red meat and root vegetables

Our Royal Cinnamon is an heirloom variety not widely harvested or exported, and it exemplifies the intense sweetness and spiciness for which Vietnamese cinnamon is prized. Use it in place of Saigon or other cinnamons in pastries and baked goods, or sprinkle into rich, savory meat or tomato-based dishes.

Tasting notes: Brown Butter • Buckwheat Honey • Orange Peel

Cooking:

• Beautiful in baked goods, spice cookies, oatmeal and desserts
• Brew with your favorite coffee or tea

Our Toasted Onion Powder has an exceptionally rich, sweet, toasty flavor that leaves other onion powders in the dust. The delicious allium flavor comes through in stews, stocks, braises, rubs, dressings, savory breads and more. It can even be used in sweet baked goods — its onion-y sweetness is unlike anything we've ever tasted.

Tasting notes: Fresh Bread • Toasted Sesame • Sugarcane

Cooking:

• Bloom in oil or butter at the start of cooking any savory dish
• Add to stocks, soups, sauces, braises and dressings

Our Purple Stripe Garlic powder adds depth and complexity to everything it touches. The powder can be used in place of fresh garlic, or as an upgrade to standard garlic powder. Add it to tomato sauces, stews, salad dressings or simply sprinkle it onto stir-fries or pizza.

Tasting notes: Brown Butter • Toasted Hazelnut • Asafoetida

Cooking:

• Add to onion, carrots and celery as a flavor base for sauces, stews, braises or beans
• Sprinkle over reheated pizza

Our Nyanza Vanilla is grown in the hills around Nyanza (aka Lake Victoria) in Tanzania, where the altitude, rich soil and temperate climate produce an especially rich, sweet vanilla. Each jar contains 10 grams of chopped vanilla, with room to add 100ml of your favorite spirit for a single fold vanilla extract.

Tasting notes: Toasted Hazelnut  • Dates • Tannins

Cooking:

• Add 100ml of your favorite spirit directly to the jar and let it infuse for at least a month (the longer the better!) 
• Top off frequently, and use as you'd use any other vanilla extract
