When it comes to food, costs can fluctuate for many reasons, and oftentimes are beyond our control: factors like supply and demand, transportation or import fees, labour costs, and other political or economic situations can all contribute to an ingredient’s accessibility. Even the climate makes a difference. Poor growing seasons, extreme temperatures, too little or too much rain and even pests attacking crops affect the scarcity of ingredients. One thing’s for sure, we’re committed to ensuring our spices contain the highest-quality ingredients sourced sustainably so that you get the best spice blends and sea salts. Being a small business empowers us to take necessary action.
