What is your favorite fish seasoning?

MEDITERRANEAN, hands down, for whitefish, a lemon paradise. For salmon or other heavy ocean fish, we like THAILAND, THE ISLANDS, SMOKED SAN ANTONIO and THE SOUTH OF FRANCE, and MADAGASCAR for seafood, lobsters, and crustacean for the love of vanilla and peppercorn.

What do you recommend for chicken?

Our best seller is THE SOUTH OF FRANCE aromatic, extremely tasty, and delicious for all dishes. We personally love our MEDITERRANEAN, a lemon paradise with a crunch of coriander seeds. Other staff favorites include THE ISLANDS, confit ginger for hot travelers, and THAILAND for the lemongrass and cilantro flavors. Our new MEXICO blend is absolutely delicious for your taco and Mexican dishes!

How about vegetables?

THE SOUTH OF FRANCE is really the greatest all-purpose herbs and spice blend because it is the first one that has been made for my mother Louise. She requested fully balanced herbs and spice blends for all recipes and we have worked on these aromatic from France.

How about vegan-vegetarian protein like tofu-tempeh?

Our best seller is THE SOUTH OF FRANCE aromatics for its amazing dried tomato and lemon peel flavors. We personally have a thing for SMOKED SAN ANTONIO, and THE ISLANDS rub that gives a ginger twist to all recipes! Also, THAILAND is mild and the lemongrass flavor kicks in a little…So delicious! And our new MEXICO will be absolutely delicious for your taco and Mexican dishes!

How about desserts?

We are absolutely thrilled to offer you the GRANDMA SWEET DESSERT SPICE for cakes, muffins, cookies, and pies, to sprinkle over ice cream, hot chocolate, and chai tea. The whole family will enjoy it!
