Spice 101

Summary

Creole Spice is a vibrant blend that captures the essence of Creole cuisine with its foundational "trinity" of celery, onion, and bell pepper. This mix is further enhanced by robust peppery heat and a generous dash of herbs, creating a flavor profile that is both complex and comforting. Notably, it's a salt-free blend, making it a versatile choice for various dishes.

History

Creole cuisine, with its deep roots in the New Orleans region, represents a melting pot of cultures, including French, Spanish, West African, and Native American influences. The use of the "trinity" (celery, onion, and bell pepper) in Creole cooking is a direct nod to this cultural amalgamation, similar to the French "mirepoix" but adjusted to local tastes and available ingredients. This blend, with its additional layers of herbs and spices, speaks to the evolution of Creole cooking, adapting and incorporating elements from various settlers and traders who passed through Louisiana. Historically, Creole Spice blends like ours have been used not just in gumbos and jambalayas but also as a daily seasoning that adds depth and warmth to everyday cooking.

Why We Love It

Creole Spice's robust and layered flavors make it perfect for jazzing up everything from a simple roast chicken to a hearty gumbo. The heat level is just right, offering a pleasant warmth.

The More You Know

Gumbo comes in many forms and can feature different proteins such as shrimp, crab, sausage, chicken, or even duck. Seafood gumbo is often more popular in coastal areas, while chicken and sausage gumbo is a favorite in inland regions.
