Our Research & Development team works continuously to craft innovative, personalized blends that excite the palate and elevate any dish. In this spotlight, we’re introducing three of our latest creations, each uniquely crafted to capture the essence of seasonality and flavor. Some of our new flavor creations include:

Smokey Chipotle & Honey Seasoning

The Smokey Chipotle & Honey Seasoning is the perfect blend of sweet and bold flavors. Expertly crafted with smoky, roasted chipotle peppers and the delicate sweetness of floral honey, this seasoning is rounded out by savory hints of onion and garlic with a subtle kick of heat. This versatile seasoning is perfect for any protein, or vegetables, and adds a unique twist to traditional chicken & waffles. Whether used as a marinade, rub, or topping, this blend brings a rich, smoky, and sweet depth to any dish!

Spicy-Sweet Tangy Pickle Seasoning

Our Spicy-Sweet Tangy Pickle Seasoning creation delivers a bold burst of flavor with every bite. This unique seasoning blend combines apple cider vinegar's zesty tang with mustard and celery's savory essence, accented by warm hints of cinnamon and clove. A subtle touch of spice rounds out the flavor profile, delivering a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and spicy. Ideal for elevating your chicken wings, chips, fries, and dips, it also adds a unique twist to popcorn and vegetables. Whether you’re crafting game-day snacks or looking to elevate everyday side dishes, this seasoning brings a playful, pickle-inspired twist to any dish!

Cajun Butter Seasoning

The Cajun Butter Seasoning delivers a luxurious blend of rich, buttery goodness with bold Cajun herbs and spices. Featuring a flavorful medley of garlic, chili, onion, and celery, this blend adds a savory depth with just the right amount of heat. Perfect for enhancing any main dish from seafood to burgers, it also elevates vegetables with its irresistible richness. While its versatility works across many dishes, it truly shines when used on a sizzling steak, giving it that signature Cajun kick. Whether as a marinade, rub, or finishing touch, this seasoning brings a savory Southern-inspired flavor to every bite!
