Owner Huma Siddiqui started White Jasmine LLC in December 2003 with her son Samir Karimi to introduce new and innovative flavors to Wisconsin. Using all-natural ingredients, White Jasmine sells whole and ground spices, plus flavored Gouda cheeses. Three signature blends are a great way to introduce yourself to White Jasmine. The most popular is tandoori masala, a mix of 13 spices with a smoky flavor reminiscent of the clay ovens used in Pakistan. Sajji masala has a bit of a kick but won’t mask the flavors of a dish — even when pairing with the recommended fish or chicken, which could easily get overshadowed. The final signature blend is garam masala, a staple in Pakistani households that Siddiqui recommends using in a stir fry. White Jasmine also offers cooking classes if you’re looking to elevate your cooking game.
