Burlap & Barrel - Pemba Cloves (Ground)

Pemba Cloves (Ground) Bright, sweet intensity with a rich, tingling warmth, in ground format. Burlap & Barrel's cloves are grown, harvested and ground by their partner farmers on the small island of Pemba, which is famous for its cloves. They’re hand-picked at the last possible moment before flowering, ensuring the largest size and most mature flavor, and then dried in the tropical sun. They're bright pink when ripe, and they turn brown as they dry. They have a bright, sweet intensity with a rich warmth and a numbing menthol buzz.

Burlap & Barrel sources this spice directly from the farmer who grew it, cutting out the middlemen who have controlled the spice trade for 4,000 years. Founded in 2016 by a former Michelin-starred chef (Ethan Frisch) and a serial entrepreneur (Ori Zohar), they pay farmers up to 20 times the commodity rate for spices this fresh and this flavorful. Once you cook with Burlap & Barrel, your supermarket spice cabinet will never look the same.
