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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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 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.
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.
Samples are available upon request.
