since i was a baby i have always loved herbs and spices. i can definitely say i grew up around mccormick spices. my dad worked for the company growing up and i did as well in my early 20’s. it’s so very nice to have had and still have the connections to these products because spices ain’t cheap these days. my families homes are stocked full of spice racks and cupboards of spices and even have shelves of antique mccormick schilling tins and other collectibles. everything i cook i use mccormick products. i’m sooo hooked on flavor your jaw would drop when you see how much i use for any given meal. years ago i took a tour of this salinas plant and i fell even more in love. the aroma in the air was heavenly and it made me sneeze alot but it was worth it. it’s really great to see all the care they take to ensure a great quality for it’s product. oh here’s a little something i learned. the spices that fall to the ground or anywhere else but the container get sold to THEOTHERGUYS! yup you want the best quality you must go with mccormick!
