Burlap & Barrel Cured Sumac - Bright Tart, Salty, Slightly Fermented Ground Sumac for Cooking | 2.3oz Jar

Introducing Burlap & Barrel Cured Sumac

From the wild sumac groves around Gaziantep in southern Turkey, this spice is cured with salt to preserve its bright character rather than simply dried. The result is a lively blend with tart, sour notes, a touch of salt, and a hint of subtle fermentation that adds personality to everyday cooking. Packaged in a 2.3oz glass jar for easy kitchen access, this spice is popular with professional chefs and home cooks who want reliable tang and depth without overpowering other flavors.

Where it comes from and how it's made

We partner directly with small farms to source single-origin sumac. Berries are harvested by hand and cured with a precise amount of salt—about 0.5 grams per jar, or roughly 1% by weight—to lock in brightness. This careful process preserves the fruit's tartness while delivering consistent flavor across batches.

• Wild-harvested berries deliver lively tartness with hints of cherry.
• The salt-curing method provides a balanced savory edge that pairs with acidic, creamy, or fatty ingredients.
• Single-origin spices ensure a clean, transparent flavor that reflects the source terroir.

Flavor profile you can taste

Expect tart cherry notes with a whisper of salt and vinegar, framed by sunny acidity and a faint, slightly fermented nuance. Used as a finishing touch, it brightens dips, grilled proteins, and vegetables without masking other flavors.
