#22. Ethan Frisch and Ori Zohar are the co-founders of Burlap & Barrel, a spice company and public benefit corporation with a mission is to end inequality and exploitation in food systems that disenfranchise skilled farmers. Burlap & Barrel works directly with small farmers around the world, sourcing only single origin spices. Their focus is not just on procuring the spices but also on helping the farmers incorporate sustainable practices to ensure their businesses are economically viable.The results have been outstanding, as Burlap & Barrel has been able to sustainably procure some of the most incredible spices directly from the farmers' harvest to our kitchen. The founders share their journey of starting the company and the story behind their first spice discovery – wild cumin from Afghanistan.Throughout the episode, Ethan and Ori discuss their sourcing process and the relationships they build with visionary farmers who prioritize flavor and sustainability over high yields. They emphasize the importance of visiting the farmers in person to develop a genuine understanding of their practices and establish trust. Burlap & Barrel's vision goes beyond just providing exceptional spices; it's about creating a positive impact on farmers' lives and preserving cultural and heritage varieties.Where to find Ethan Frisch: InstagramLinkedInWhere to find Ori Zohar: InstagramLinkedInWhere to find host Josh Sharkey:InstagramLinkedInIn this episode, we cover:(2:10) Gorilla Ice Cream(5:13) Ori's Startup(7:52) Why Burlap & Barrel started(10:58) How Burlap & Barrel finds their partners(15:32) How Burlap & Barrel validates quality(17:44) Picking a White Peppercorn partner(22:07) Burlap & Barrel Origin blends(27:10) Direct to Restaurant to Direct to Consumer(30:46) The Supply chain and commoditization of spices(32:37) What is Iru?(35:36) The spice industry in America(40:12) Domestic versus International sourcing(42:01) How climate change effects sourcing(48:08) Burlap & Barrel on Shark Tank(55:34) Working with Floyd and Barkha Cardoz
Ground Black Lime, Royal Cinnamon and Wild Mountain Cumin are among dozens of single origin spices sold by Burlap & Barrel, a public benefit corporation building equitable, transparent and traceable supply chains around the world. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the unique spice company, whose co-founders and co-CEOs discussed Burlap & Barrel's mission and growth during a recent appearance on the television show “Shark Tank.” Founded in 2016 by Ori Zohar and Ethan Frisch, Burlap & Barrel partners directly with smallholder farmers to source spices that have never been available in the US before, while helping improve the livelihoods of their partners in the field. Although the pair did not close a deal on “Shark Tank,” Zohar and Frisch plan to expand the brand's product offerings and reach more grocery store shelves in the years ahead. The team praises the brand for bringing new flavors to the market while also partnering with smallholder farmers to improve their livelihoods. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about some recent plant-based meat recalls from prominent brands including Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat. Last month, Impossible Foods recalled its Chicken Nuggets Made from Plants and Wild Nuggies because of the possibility of small pieces of wood in the products. In 2019, Impossible Foods issued a voluntary recall after a California restaurant found a piece of plastic in a bulk Impossible Burger product. Impossible's rival, Beyond Meat, is also no stranger to plant-based meat recalls. Beyond Meat's Pennsylvania's facility had food safety issues in 2021 and 2022, including mold and Listeria contaminations, according to internal documents and photos leaked to Bloomberg. There is a belief that plant-based products are healthier and less susceptible to pathogens like E. Coli and Salmonella, but faith in the inherent safety of plant-based products is misplaced. The team points out that plant-based meat recalls have become more prevalent because the products are ultra-processed and contain numerous food-grade chemicals as ingredients.Read the full article here:Burlap & Barrel Showcase Single Origin Spices on “Shark Tank”Recent Plant-Based Meat Recalls: Impossible Chicken Nuggets, Beyond Burgers and OthersFor more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

Transformative Leadership Conversations with Winnie da Silva
Season 2; Episode 8: Spices, Entrepreneurship and Social Impact with Ethan Frisch & Ori Zohar Ethan Frisch and Ori Zohar are co-founders and co-owners of Burlap & Barrel. Burlap & Barrel sources unique, beautiful spices for professional chefs and home cooks. As a Public Benefit Corporation, they partner directly with smallholder farmers to source spices that have never been available in the US before and help improve the livelihoods of our partner farmers. As a Public Benefit Corporation Burlap & Barrel is building new international food supply chains that are equitable, transparent, and traceable. Key Takeaways from this Episode: Building a Sustainable Business · We went from: what if we have to close the business, to we're about to run out of spices. · We want to build a big business, a business that has impact, that has influence. · Entrepreneurship is always a process of iterating and improving. Nothing is static. · Now that we've grown, most of the things that happen in the business on a day-to-day basis are not my area of expertise. · You can be an entrepreneur even if your area of expertise is in business operations; continue to find the right subject matter expert that you can partner with partner. · We are lucky we get to live a life that we design. We get to decide what we do every morning. We get to make decisions for ourselves that most people in the world never get to make, and really don't have much hope of getting to make. The fact that we get to do this is already such a privilege, such a treat that, if the business had to close tomorrow, we are fine. We are healthy. We are in positions to make decisions about our lives, and the business doesn't define that. The business is an outcome of that, but not definitive Avoiding the Silicon Valley Model · Create a sustainable, long-term business that isn't optimizing for a crazy exit in five years; build a healthy, happy business. · The crazy, venture-backed, gigantic companies and founder as hero creating a new world is too stressful. Use other inspiring, quirky, funny companies for inspiration that have grown organically, have a deep and interesting culture of their own. · We disagreed with the advice we got from a startup accelerator program; and it turns out that what we did instead saved us from the pandemic. · Not relying on venture money forced us to be lean, thoughtful and to create more clever solutions because we couldn't just hire a senior person to come in to fix things. Building a Healthy Partnership · Starting this business was a new phase of a longstanding friendship. Having had one experience together of entrepreneurship meant that we understood how our skillsets and interests were going to complement each other. · Shared values can help partners navigate challenging decisions. · We're constantly checking in to see how we need to adjust our roles as the business grows. · When we disagree, it means we're working on something important. We have arrived at different conclusions with essentially the same information, and why? Tension is not, necessarily a negative thing, and in fact, it's been an overall a source of positive energy and it pushes us in the right directions. Our Toolkit: · Put in the time and energy and explicit focus to create a conflict resolution process including a toolkit and common language. · We ask ourselves how strongly we feel about something – on a scale of 1-10. The person who feels more strongly about something gets to make the decision. · We have a weekly meeting with no agenda. During that meeting we bring pebbles, not boulders. We want to talk about problems as early as possible. If it feels off or weird, we don't just sit and stew on it. These meetings create a safe space for us to bring whatever we're feeling. We can check in and disagree and talk through the things that are sitting the heaviest on our minds. · We practice disagreements about the small things, so that when a big thing comes along, we're ready. Companies & Resources: · Examples of social impact business: o Rancho Gordo: sells incredible dried heirloom beans o King Arthur Flour · “Let My People Go Surfing” by the founder of Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard · Pete Flint at NFX Burlap & Barrel Articles · New York Times · Food & Wine · Bloomberg · Fast Company · Wall Street Journal To learn more about my work in executive coaching, leadership development and team effectiveness check out my website, connect with me on LinkedIn or email me at winnie@winnifred.org.

My daughter Aradhana and I have used these fresh spices in our own cooking. · And lastly, but certainly not least, I talk with Gina L. Osborn: an Army Veteran and former FBI special agent and the host of the podcast Lead Like a Lady where she talks with other amazing women like her who have emerged as leaders in primarily male dominated fields. She's a powerhouse of wisdom and boldness for women certainly – but really for everyone. And somewhere in there, I'm also going to have a surprise “guest”; my grandfather. He died 35 years ago when I was in high school. But last year, I did some research with my Dad and I want to share with you his story too. And I'll also offer some reflections sprinkled throughout the season. I can't wait to share these people and their stories with you. Thank you for supporting me and this podcast!

We continue our global trade mini-series with one of the most distinguishing elements of a cuisine: spice. Where would any regional food culture be without its unique blend of spices? Where would Italian food be without oregano, or Thai food without the bird’s eye chili? Historically, spices are associated with a nation, a region, or perhaps a dish. Yet, in our contemporary world, the average home cook can find the world in their spice rack.Although we can’t encapsulate the entirety of historic and modern spice trade and its influence in this episode, we consider four unique stories on the histories and implications of flavoring food. We explain the universal adoption and adoration for the chili pepper, and how its violent historic exchange still shrouds many regional foodways. We take a look at the economics of saffron and why it’s so expensive. Then we explore the perception of well-known flavor enhancer, MSG, and why its controversy may be unfounded. Finally, we examine the impetus for current farmer protests igniting in India and what that may mean for the future of global spice trade. Listen in next week, as we continue our global journey with bites of everything strange, interesting and important in the world of historic and contemporary trade.Further Reading and Listening:Subscribe to Cooking in Mexican wherever you get your podcasts (Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS)Subscribe to A Taste of The Past wherever you get your podcasts (Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS)You can visit the Vanilla, Saffron Imports company website here.
