Burlap & Barrel Ground Zanzibar Black Pepper

*Winner of the Gold medal for quality by Monde Selection* Our award-winning, vine-ripened whole Zanzibar Black Peppercorns are carefully hand-picked and sun-dried for a bright, fruity and spicy peppercorn. Black pepper grows in bunches like grapes, on a climbing vine. Most black peppercorns are harvested while still green, and the drying process gives them their distinctive dark skin. These are rich, chocolate-colored peppercorns with dense wrinkles and a bright, fruity spiciness. Use in BBQ or picnic dishes. Perfect for a get together, summer part, or grilling out event.

Named by Saveur as the “Best Black Peppercorn for Heat” Our gingery, savory, workhorse-of-the kitchen Robusta Black Peppercorns come from a small farm in Vietnam. They're harvested when the peppercorns are ripe, and their classic, herbaceous, robust flavor captivated us at first grind! They're grown by two friends, Dūng and Thanh, using regenerative integrated agricultural techniques. Vietnam's prized Robusta coffee is intercropped with the pepper vines, which provide shade for the coffee bushes and maybe even pick up a bit of that Robusta flavor. This is your daily black pepper.

Our savory, funky Fermented White Peppercorns are highly prized in Indonesia but rarely found in the US. They add a deep umami flavor and funk to everything they touch. They're grown on a family farm on the island of Bangka by a farmer named Pak Sugiri and his son, Ilham. The peppercorns are picked fresh and fermented according to traditional methods. Grind over steak to mimic the flavor of dry aging, over veggies for heat and depth, or in traditional Cantonese and southeast Asian dishes that call for white pepper.

Our Pemba Cloves are hand-picked by our partner farmers on the small island of Pemba, in the Zanzibar Archipelago, which is famous for its cloves. They have a bright, sweet intensity with a rich warmth and a numbing menthol buzz. They’re picked at the last possible moment before flowering, ensuring the largest size and most mature flavor. Bright pink when ripe, they turn brown as they dry in the tropical sun. Add whole to braised meats and mulled wine, or grind into desserts. Looking for ground cloves? We've got 'em here.

Our vine-ripened Purple Peppercorns are the heirloom Vietnamese variety Vinh Linh, renowned for its strong flavor. These are complex, fruity black peppercorns with an aroma like strawberries and a kick like a jalapeño. They can be used in place of black pepper in any recipe, as well as in desserts or ground over fresh cut fruit. Unlike virtually every other black pepper in the world, these peppercorns are fully ripened on the vine, which requires expertise and commitment from the farmer and produces an exceptionally complex sweet and spicy peppercorn unlike any other we've tasted.

Whole Stone Nutmeg is warm, sweet and deeply aromatic, with a rounded spice that unfolds as you grate it. Using whole nutmeg lets you control the intensity and capture its fragrance right at the moment you need it, adding subtle warmth and richness to both savory and sweet dishes. This nutmeg comes from Zanzibar, Tanzania , where it’s hand-picked at peak ripeness from Mzee Sio’s orchard . Nutmeg is the inner pit of a yellow stone fruit that splits open when ripe, then the seeds are sun-dried to concentrate their aroma.

Designed to be an everyday essential, it’s a blend Martha reaches for when roasting chicken or turkey. An herb-forward mix of Anatolian sage, rosemary and oregano forms the backbone, with robust black pepper and warming buffalo ginger adding depth and balance. A touch of wind-blown sea salt ties everything together. The result is savory, aromatic and complex.

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.

Our Cloud Forest Cardamom is sweet and tart, reminiscent of summer fruits, fresh herbs and cut grass. It comes straight from a single-estate regenerative farm in the high-altitude cloud forests of Guatemala. The fruit turns yellow as it ripens on the vine and has a softer and sweeter flavor that makes it a perfect upgrade to standard green cardamom. The fragrant, crunchy seeds have been removed from the pods, and they’re ready to dot pastries and jams and add depth to your favorite chicken recipe and give your coffee a Middle Eastern twist. Looking for whole cardamom pods? We've got 'em here.

Our Black Urfa Chili comes from Urfa, Turkey, where it has been grown and cured for centuries. It has a rich, malty flavor with a lingering burn. The chilis ripen to a bright red color, then are laid out under sheets in the hot summer sun. This technique cures the pepper in its own juices and gives it a deep umami flavor and beautiful dark color. Great in stews, tomato sauces, salad dressings, chocolate desserts or sprinkled over fluffy scrambled eggs. Please note that the Black Urfa Chili contains a little sunflower oil and may appear to be slightly clumpy or wet.

A favorite in salsas, adobos and marinades, this chef-approved, kitchen-ready chili delivers bold flavor that lifts everything from soups to spice rubs.

Pompona Vanilla is an extremely rare species of vanilla, and ours is wild-harvested in the Peruvian Amazon. You've never had vanilla like this before, a beautiful combination of flavors from bitter and chocolate-y to dried cherry and dark rum. A slight bitterness is characteristic of Pompona vanilla and represents some of the flavor compounds found in Pompona that you don't find in standard Planifolia vanilla. We have an extremely limited quantity of full Pompona Vanilla pods. 1 Grade A Pod comes in a biodegradable, sustainably grown bamboo tube.
