Upgrade Your Sweetness: Discover the Magic of Curio's Sugar Bundle
As the days become shorter and the weather turns colder, we all find ourselves scrambling for a source of comfort – something to do as we are sequestered inside to weather out the winter. For many (including myself), comfort can be found in the hands-on process of baking. Whether it is the patience practice of breadmaking or the classic cookie, baking invokes feelings of nostalgia that we hope to inspire with our Sugar Bundle.
Our Sugar Bundle is a unique set of floral themed speciality sugars: Vanilla sugar, Saffron sugar and our newest addition, Rose sugar.
Included in the bundle:
Made with fair trade cane sugar and our incredibly fragrant directly sourced vanilla from Madagascar. This mix truly sparkles with beauty! Adding ground vanilla beans to sugar creates an easy to use flavor. Whether you’re making a cup of coffee or decorating a sugar cookie during the holidays, Vanilla sugar is both visually stunning (due to the visible speckles of vanilla pods) as well as aromatically stunning - the scent is deep and rich and inviting.
Made with fair trade organic cane sugar and fragrant Afghan saffron threads from our friend Palwasha at Mina Sahar Saffron, this sugar has the distinct honeyed aroma of saffron infused into every granule.
It's part of our mission to improve the lives of spice farmers wherever they are and whatever issues they face. When the Taliban took over control of Afghanistan, where we had been sourcing saffron, we knew we wanted to find a way to help. We connected with an incredible organization called “Women for Afghan Women” that helps support Afghan women on the ground in Afghanistan but also helps them in the United States. We decided we could fundraise for their cause through sales of our saffron. Since pure saffron is a slow mover at any spice company due to its cost, we made the decision to make a new product!
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but we love roses! We include roses to quite a few of our blends, so you can imagine our excitement for this sweet addition to our sugar collection. We import whole, organic rose buds from a women's coop and blend them to a fine powder that we mix with fair trade cane sugar. Grinding the rose buds in small batches results in the most vibrant aroma from these famous roses that boast dense, sweet flavor. In combination with the caramel notes of the cane sugar the resulting blend is an astounding floral experience that is unique and original and not overly perfumed.
