Burlap & Barrel - Five Spice

Five Spice Classic, aromatic, versatile Five Spice blend from Vietnam, warm and slightly spicy Burlap & Barrel's Five Spice is an ancient, aromatic, versatile blend beloved across East Asia. Called Ngũ Vị Hương in Vietnamese and 五香粉 in Chinese, it's named for the five traditional Chinese flavors (sweet, bitter, tart, salty and savory). It brings a warm, savory, slightly spicy burst of flavor to grilling rubs, stews, sauces, stir-fries, braises and red cooking.

Burlap & Barrel was born when co-founder Ethan Frisch tasted wild cumin in Afghanistan and realized that the spices in American kitchens were a pale shadow of what farmers actually produce. Since 2016, he and Ori Zohar have been building direct relationships with farmers worldwide, paying premium prices for spices of extraordinary quality. We carry the largest Burlap & Barrel selection in Denver because their spices are, simply, the best we have ever tasted.
