Spicewalla

Spicewalla sells whole spices, dried herbs, salts and peppercorns, along with its own blends such as easy meal spice packets, salt-free blends, and grilling and barbecue rubs. The brand also carries teas, hot chocolate, olive oil, kitchenware and gift baskets, and it offers cooking classes for home cooks.

Spicewalla is based in Asheville, North Carolina, and a Georgetown store is opening this fall or winter, so check before planning a visit. Shopping is available online, where gift cards are also sold, and the company offers wholesale and food service accounts for restaurants and stores.
