Contains Watkins famous Black Pepper and Cinnamon with other spices.
Quality raw materials: We buy the pick of the world’s herb and spice crop —each selected from the best growing region.
Skillful preparation: All spices contain volatile flavoring oils. If care is not exercised during grinding or granulation, it is possible for enough heat to be generated to evaporate these oils and result in an inferior product.
Strict quality control: We select our spices for taste, color, and appearance; then more thorough tests are made to further determine the quality. One of these tests involves oil content. This oil, known as the “essential oil,” is a good measure of flavor and quality. Our cinnamon, for example, has a minimum of 2% essential oil; many others on the market have 1 to 2%, and inferior brands have as low as .5%. Further quality control checks are made to insure that none of the raw material quality has been lost. After the spices are processed, they are bottled in glass or tins to preserve quality (many of the spices’ essential oils are not compatible with plastic).
Glass bottle with shaker top: After processing, our herbs and spices are immediately packed in our custom 3-oz. glass bottle to preserve quality. Shaker tops are included where appropriate.
