Spices

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO STORE MY SPICES?

Airtight glass jars are the ideal storage containers for spices. It is best to store spices away from heat and light, making a drawer or cabinet your best options. We do recommend storing certain products, like Tomato Powder, in the refrigerator to extend the shelf life.

HOW LONG DO SPICES LAST?

Spice don’t “go bad” in the same sense as other foods. They do, however, lose their flavor over time. Whole spices can maintain their full flavor for several years. We recommend replacing ground spices every year. The best test for spice freshness is simply smelling them. If they smell weak or have no aroma, they probably won’t have much flavor and should be replaced.

DO YOUR SEASONINGS CONTAIN MSG?

No, none of our seasonings contain MSG.

ARE YOUR SPICES SALT-FREE?

We have a wide range of salt-free seasonings, including traditional blends like chili powder and curry powder. Our salt-free spice blends also include salt-free seasonings for grilling & BBQ, seasonings for chicken, and much more. Explore salt-free options.

ARE YOUR SPICES GLUTEN-FREE?

The majority of our spices and seasonings are gluten-free, yes, and each product page notes such dietary details.

We have a few non-spice products that do contain gluten. They come to our warehouse pre-packaged and sealed and go out the same way. Store locations also carry a selection of artisan offerings that arrive pre-packaged and may contain gluten.

We also do not label our barbecue sauces as gluten-free because they use two ingredients that many people claim contain gluten: vinegar and soy sauce. According to our manufacturer, there are not enough gluten proteins in these ingredients to cause an effect for someone with Celiac disease. In cases like this, the FDA allows products to be labeled as gluten-free, however in the spirit of transparency we have opted not to label these products as gluten-free.

HOW DO I SUBSTITUTE A DRIED HERB FOR A FRESH HERB?

Because of their intense concentrated flavor, dried herbs can be substituted for fresh herbs at a ratio of 1 to 3. For example, if a recipe calls for 3 tsp. of fresh oregano, you can use 1 tsp. of dried oregano. In order to release the full flavor of dried herbs, they need to be heated and rehydrated. That’s why they’re great for recipes like soups and stews that sometimes require extended cooking times.

CAN I BUY WHOLESALE?

Yes, we offer larger volumes of product wholesale for restaurants, food producers, chefs, etc. Please contact our Denver-based Food Services department at foodservices@savoryspiceshop.com or 888-677-3322 for more information, or contact your local Savory Spice location.

CAN I BUY SPICES FOR CORPORATE GIFTS OR FAVORS?

Yes. Spices are a wonderful gift for corporate events, real estate clients, weddings, and other occasions. Contact us for more details on bulk orders and custom label options for gift sets and spices in jars, bags, or tubes. We also offer discounts for large custom orders as well as DIY options if you'd like to use your own containers and labels.

WHAT ARE THE BEST GIFTS FOR PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO COOK?

We have some great gift ideas for people that like to cook. Explore our Father's Day and Mother's Day gift suggestions. Additionally, we have some amazing spice sets.

WHY DO I SEE PROP 65 WARNINGS?

Read more on why store signs and select products in California include the Proposition 65 warning labels. 

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR BEEF?

There are tons of options depending on what kind of flavor profile you prefer but some classic customer favorites for beef are Hudson Bay Beef Spice which is our take on the classic Montreal seasoning and Kansas City Strip Steak Seasoning. We also have a great beef seasoning set with four favorites for beef in one box.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR CHICKEN?

Chicken is such a great blank slate for seasonings so don't be afraid to experiment with flavors from all over the world. Some go-to products include Lake Barkley Fried Chicken Seasoning, TSM BBQ Chicken Rub, sweet & salty Homestead Seasoning. Savory's founder Mike is also a big fan of both Jamaican Jerk (for those that like it a little spicy!) and Cajun Blackening.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FISH SEASONING?

Cherry Creek Seafood Seasoning for that classic lemon dill flavor. Coastal Bay Seafood Seasoning is our take on Old Bay Seasoning.

WHAT IS THE BEST SEASONING FOR VEGETABLES?

Vegetables are another great way to play around with different spice combinations, but we do have some classic favorites for certain veggies including Park Hill Maple & Spice for carrots, Bucktown Brown Mustard & Honey Rub for Brussels Sprouts, and Capitol Hill Seasoning for potatoes and green beans.

WHAT DOES “SPICES” MEAN IN AN INGREDIENT LIST?

Per FDA requirements, “spices” refers only to a set list of spices that are not known allergens (see below). This term is NOT used to hide fillers. Many of our seasonings contain a complex blend of spices. Often, many individual spices are used in a very small volume in a seasoning. We use “spices” because, though a seasoning may contain allspice, for example, such a small amount is used that it is not a primary flavor component in the blend.

Spices that fall under the “and spices” umbrella are:

  • Allspice
  • Anise
  • Basil
  • Bay leaves
  • Caraway seed
  • Cardamom
  • Celery seed
  • Chervil
  • Cinnamon
  • Cloves
  • Coriander seed
  • Cumin seed
  • Dill seed
  • Fennel seed
  • Fenugreek
  • Ginger
  • Horseradish
  • Mace
  • Marjoram
  • Mustard seeds & ground mustard
  • Nutmeg
  • Oregano
  • Parsley
  • Black Pepper
  • White Pepper
  • Red Pepper
  • Rosemary
  • Sage
  • Savory
  • Star Aniseed
  • Tarragon
  • Thyme
