Za’atar-the best za’atar we’ve ever tasted.  Savory, nutty and tart.

Turmeric- sweet, floral buttery flavor and brilliant yellow orange color

Sweet Paprika-grown on a small regenerative farm in the oldest paprika growing region of Hungary.  Perfect for classic Hungarian dishes, this sweet paprika adds richness and depth to anything it touches.

Smoked Pimenton-comes from a protected region in western Spain, where sweet red peppers have been grown for centuries.  Fresh peppers are slowly dried over oak coals, which imbue them with a rich smoky flavor that imparts a depth of gorgeous color.  Add to pasta sauce or chili or as a rub for grilled meats or sprinkle over sautéed veggies.

Saffron-uncommonly delicate Herati saffron threads have a beautiful delicate floral flavor, golden color.

Vanilla-chopped, vine ripened pods, just add alcohol to make your own extract.

Garam Masala-Every chef has a top secret recipe of spices they combine for their gram masala.  This deceptively simple yet bright and aromatic blend was from Floyd Cardoz, a celebrated chef that makes Indian cooking a snap. A must for Indian cuisine.
