What's in the box: A seasonal selection of Burlap & Barrel spices or seasonings, sent once a quarter.
Burlap & Barrel is a US spice company that sells single origin spices sourced from partner farmers. The Spice Club is its subscription. The company describes it as a quarterly seasonal seasoning subscription, so boxes arrive four times a year instead of every month. That suits cooks who want new flavors on a regular basis without overfilling the pantry. The brand has been around for about ten years and appeared on Shark Tank. It calls itself a social enterprise built on equitable sourcing. Its regular range names specific origins and varieties, such as Vietnamese cinnamon, Zanzibar black peppercorns and smoked pimentón paprika, which suggests the quality you can expect in a club shipment. The Spice Club listing shows a large number of reviews, so it looks like an established product rather than a side project. The homepage does not say how many spices come in each box or exactly what the seasonal theme will be, so check the club page before you sign up. Also note that this is a spice service. Nothing suggests hot sauces are included. If you would rather pick exactly what you get, the brand's fixed collections and bundles may suit you better than a curated subscription.
