Spice Hunter Freeze Dried Shallots, 0.3 oz

Lucia Cleveland started The Spice Hunter in a spare bedroom in her home on the Central Coast of California in 1980.She first became interested in spices while using them to enhance the flavor of the bland mac & cheese diet she endured on backpacking trips. A biology major in college, Cleveland was working at the time testing the quality of well water. Always experimenting, Cleveland sought to create authentic blends, items that the average American might never have tried. The Spice Hunter items often were used for in-store cooking demonstrations. From the beginning, her products were All Natural. Another of Cleveland’s passions is creating high quality products. When one of her two daughters was studying Greece in school, Cleveland planned her first “Spice Hunt” there as the family vacation. There, she learned about high mountain Greek Oregano, which was picked by hand and then carried off the hillside in backpacks and on donkeys. The brand continued to be a pioneer in the spice business, developing low salt options. In the 1990s, The Spice Hunter was the first brand to launch organic spices in the U.S. The brand still makes a 27-item line of organic herbs and spices today, plus organic dry dips & seasonings. The Spice Hunter was sold to The C.F. Sauer Company of Richmond, Virginia. Founded in 1887, The C.F. Sauer Company was the first company in America to sell packaged extracts. Since the acquisition, the Brand has added organic dips and seasoning mixes, the #1 selling Turkey Brine, and a host of unique and flavorful spice blends to its offerings. Even with all of the change over the years, the spirit of the original Spice Hunter lives on, as Lucia Cleveland remains a friend to the brand that she created all those years ago in her spare bedroom.
