What makes Buck's curation different when it comes to hard-to-find spices?
Buck's approach to rare spices is all about direct relationships—sourcing from small producers and foragers instead of big commodity suppliers. That means you'll find single-origin peppercorns, wildcrafted mushrooms, and regional blends that simply don't show up on a typical spice rack. We'd rather bring in the real, hand-harvested thing than swap in something generic. Here's a taste of that range:
- Small Batch Nepalese Fagara Peppercorns — a true rarity with a citrusy, tingling character you won't find in mainstream spice aisles.
- Dried Sansho Peppers (chopi (초피) — a specialty Japanese/Korean pepper prized for its floral heat.
- Georgian Svanetian Salt (სვანური მარილი (Svanuri marili) — a traditional Georgian salt blend with garlic and herbs, rarely found outside specialty importers.
- Citrus Bergamia Powder (Bergamot Orange) — a fragrant, citrus-forward find for cooks who love bergamot's floral edge, also featured in our Earl Grey Moonlight Tea and Earl Grey Bella Luna Tea.
