Harvested by hand only when it has matured and the essential oils have reached their peak, our Indian Tellicherry Pepper is blanched in its hull, sun-dried on bamboo mats for a week, and then meticulously cleaned and sorted. Only the most perfect peppercorns are selected for our special extra bold Tellicherry, its richly aromatic flavor matched by a lustrous brownish black color and classic wrinkled texture.

Our White Pepper is allowed to ripen fully on the vine before being hand harvested and carefully selected. Clear running mountain spring water is piped into tanks where the fruits are soaked under controlled conditions to remove their hulls. The constant monitoring of water circulation produces a uniformly high-quality, creamy white peppercorn with a mellow and mildly piquant flavor.

Our pure white low-sodium sea salt is hand-harvested from the ancestral salt beds of the Philippine province of Pangasinan. Small producers using traditional, sustainable methods extract natural salt from the tidal waters, letting the salt water evaporate in shallow, pottery-lined beds, collecting the crystals with rakes, then gathering them into baskets called tiklas to drain. The structure of our White Pangasinan Salt produces a lightly crunchy texture that accents its bright, clean flavor.

Pleasantly hot and more pungent than regular black pepper, our aromatic Javanese Long Pepper is native to Indonesia. Grown year round, the best long pepper comes from the island of Madura, where the dryness and balanced ph of the soil, along with perfect weather conditions, conspire to produce the largest fruits and leaves. As soon as they mature, our long pepper is harvested and immediately sun-dried to capture its unique flavor.

Vadouvan, which means “sun-dried spices” in French, is a unique blend of aromatics and curry spices that originated in Southern India – a region conquered 300 years ago by the French and still reflected in their cuisine. Golden Vadouvan has been simplified to our taste. The key ingredients are onion, garlic, and shallot, to which we’ve added our special curry blend to give it a rich complexity. Be warned that Vadouvan is very intense! Use sparingly as an accent.

Ras el Hanout literally means the “top of the shop” in Arabic. One of the jewels of our spice repertoire, it has been developed and perfected over many years. Stopping at nothing to achieve its unique character, we blended 26 different herbs and spices of the highest quality, emphasizing aphrodisiac elements like grains of paradise, cubeb pepper, Javanese long pepper, and Iranian saffron. Its sparing use will delight the most discriminating taste.

Harvested from the saffron crocus flower, the red stigmas of our premium Saffron are cut and separated into threads, and then sun-dried in a process that releases the precious safranal oil which produces saffron’s prized crimson gold color, intensely rich fragrance, and distinctive mellow taste. With an ISO grade of I, color strength of 246, fragrance level of 35, and flavor level of 90, our saffron is of the finest quality for cooking and baking.

Cultivated in greenhouses requiring special certification, our Tahitian Vanilla beans are plump and soft, warm brown in color, and contain twice as many flavor molecules as other varieties. Maturing over a period of about nine months, each bean ripens in its own time, and must be judiciously harvested by hand. The distinctive aroma and rich flavor develop during an elaborate curing process that has been perfected over more than a century.

Our naturally Pink Pangasinan Salt is produced in this ancient province whose name means “land of salt.” On the central west coast of the Philippine island of Luzon, artisanal farmers using time-honored traditional methods alternate between farming tiger prawns and harvesting salt. The delicate rosy hue of the shrimp and a hint of their distinctive briny flavor are imparted to our moist, coarse pink Pangasinan salt.

A spice traceable to ancient Phoenician origins, cinnamon is harvested from an evergreen tree belonging to the Laurel family. After collecting only the most delicate strips of the inner bark of the young cinnamon tree shoots, we sun dry and firmly hand roll them to create our richly fragrant, golden brown Cinnamon “quills,” with edges neatly joined end to end to achieve a uniform thickness and length.

We are very serious, if not extreme, about herbs and spices. Our goal is to offer the world’s highest quality herbs and spices. Traceability and research are very important to us. We study how each spice seed should be planted, harvested and processed to achieve the highest quality. Which type of grinding, drying, and sorting equipments should be used? Which location has the best soil and weather to achieve the best results? How do we keep the production and shipping records to maintain traceability of each spice? All of these factors are taken into account when we look for the right grower. Only a few growers meet our standards: you can see, smell, taste the difference.
