Kerman province creates the perfect ecosystem for Black Caraway. The dry climate and mineral-rich soil result in seeds that are darker, richer in essential oils, and far more aromatic than varieties grown elsewhere. Our “Wild Mountain” grade is completely organic, growing naturally without any human intervention, making it the rarest and most valuable variety available.
