Handcrafted with No Fillers
We are proud that each and every rub/seasoning is handcrafted and individually hand signed with the family member that blended and packed the bottle.
In addition, we add a best before date on each bottle. You may wonder why is there is a best before date when most spices last 1-2 years. The reason is humidity. Because we don't add fillers or anti-caking agents, there is a possibility that humidity could cause some clumping. But that is ok. Simply give the bottle a shake before use, or even store in the fridge and you are set. Don't forget to avoid seasoning your food with the bottle over the heat source as steam can enter the bottle and cause clumping.
