The Spicery Logo

If spice reflected in appearance, its real importance in the history of civilization, the little bottles would be filled with beautiful glittering diamonds, rubies, emeralds or gold. Open the bottle and a poof of vibrant color, exotic fragrance, the tantalizing essence of far away lands billows softly through the air. Spices have been the inspiration for trade, exploration, war, and poetry since the beginning of civilization. Common ground pepper was once worth its weight in gold; nutmeg once fueled a war that gained Long Island for England.

It was these romantic notions that inspired the creation of the Spicery, a spice company dedicated to high quality product with an emphasis on education.
