WOMEN IN SPICE PART 2: MOROCCO
Morocco is dear to our hearts, especially their Damask Rose. These exquisite, chemical-free rose buds are sourced from the Dades Valley just beyond the Atlas mountains through a women-run co-op.
Our newest episode in the Women in Spice docu-series highlights these inspirational, hard-working women.
WOMEN IN SPICE PART 1: COLOMBIA
A note from Claire,
Curio founder
Thanks for checking out our first Curio Origins film! I embarked on this project as a new way of sharing stories about the places we source spices and about the farmers we meet. While we're a small spice business, we have big dreams about making a positive impact on the world. To join us, stay in touch, and spread the word about our spices and cook with them often!
OUR MISSION
IMPROVEÂ the lives of spice farmers
by directly sourcing from small, sustainable farms
INSPIREÂ culinary creativity by crafting blends
that celebrate unique flavors from around the world.
We value organic, fair trade ingredients, supporting women, and enriching
our local community– and making sure we all have the chance to eat well.
We're changing the narrative of how spices are produced and traded
We specialize in directly sourced spices from small farmers and women farmers sourced locally and globally. Watch this 4-minute documentary to learn about why. We pay above Fair Trade price – sometimes as much as ten times the commodity rate – for spices that burst with flavor. We give back through fundraising efforts via our Curio for a Cause campaigns, which support gender equality, climate resilience and community empowerment. We instill in every product a respect for the land and the farmers who grow our spices, alongside a sense of wonder for the rare flavors available to us.
