Burlap & Barrel Chef's Best Friend
$11.99Sold by Burlap & Barrel
Developed in collaboration with Chef Marc Murphy , Chef’s Best Friend is built on a simple idea: having the right balance of salt and pepper within arm’s reach makes cooking easier and better. This is Marc’s original Season With Authority blend and one he keeps at the ready by his stove at all times. Salina crystal salt provides clean, mineral salinity, while Zanzibar black peppercorns bring bright, fruity heat and depth. The ratio is dialed in so you can season confidently as you cook, without stopping to reach for two separate jars or second-guessing your balance.

Burlap & Barrel Smoked Star Anise
Our Smoked Star Anise is picked by hand in the mountains near the border between Vietnam and China. The cold, cloudy weather during the winter harvest means the star anise fruits need to be dried on racks near a wood fire, and they pick up a beautiful hint of smokiness. Add petals to stocks, braised meats, rice, teas and cocktails, or grind them up for desserts and baked goods. Hint hint: Chew on a petal before cooking with it so you can experience the whole range of flavors. It's a wild ride!

Burlap & Barrel Pomegranate Molasses
Our Pomegranate Molasses is a sweet & tart reduction of fresh pomegranate seeds, with nothing added! It's the silky, full-bodied, pure flavor of pomegranate, and it's a delight in dressings, marinades, drinks, desserts and drizzles. To make this luscious liquid, pomegranate seeds are pressed and their juice is gradually concentrated in a low-temperature vacuum. This prevents natural fruit sugars from caramelizing, a slow and steady process that preserves the vibrantly fresh fruit flavors and optimizes nutritional value.
