Capitol Hill Seasoning

Use Capitol Hill as your go-to all-purpose blend for chicken or seafood. Season eggs, mix it into chicken salad, or blend it with yogurt or sour cream for a flavorful dip. Sprinkle on avocado toast.

It also works well blended into softened butter for a compound butter, since the delicate herbs come through clearly once the butter melts over something warm.

Our all-time favorite seasoning for deviled eggs and cooking freshly caught trout over a campfire.

We also love to make a killer compound butter with it and just drop a pad of that butter into the pan while sautéeing mushrooms, grilling strip steak, or, when we’re feeling wild, both at once.

Named after the bustling Capitol Hill neighborhood in Denver, Colorado, Capitol Hill has over time become one of our most popular spice blends. It's a handcrafted, all-purpose seasoning, though we don't recommend it on red meat, since its delicate shallot and herb flavor gets lost against a bold cut of beef the way it never does on chicken, seafood, or eggs.

Shallots are the real backbone of this blend, milder and sweeter than onion, with a flavor that survives being dried far better than most alliums. Go Behind the Seasoning: Shallots to learn more about why they work so well here.
