Spices do not go bad in the same way that foods do, instead, they can lose their potency and flavour strength after 2-3 years. Generally speaking, spices will maintain their most optimal flavour within the first ten months of opening them. We know it often takes longer to go through your spices, which is why we package our products in reusable glass jars (to keep excess air and moisture out), and use a large label (which blocks out any additional light sources) for our products. To get the most out of your spices, make sure you place your spices in a cool and dry environment, like a cabinet or drawer, positioned away from everchanging temperatures.

We strive to bring you spice blends with the highest quality possible for maximum flavour. This is why we handcraft our spices in small batches only. Want to learn more? Here are the more detailed benefits of producing spices in small batches:

Enhanced Quality Control: Our commitment to small batch production enables us to meticulously oversee and maintain quality at every stage of the production process. This detailed approach guarantees superior spices boasting bold flavour and consistency.

Reduced Waste: We take food waste seriously at The Spice Drawer. That is why we produce in smaller quantities which massively reduces waste by avoiding overproduction and minimizing the need for excessive packaging. This is not only more environmentally friendly, but it also aligns with our belief of not having meaningless waste in the kitchen.

Elevated Freshness: Small batch production means that spices are made more frequently and our ingredients are purchased more frequently as well. This ensures that they are fresher when they reach you. Fresher spices ensure a bolder flavour and aroma.

Artisanal Uniqueness and Ongoing Innovation: Small batch production allows for our artisanal craftmanship to shine with great flexibility in experimenting with different blends, flavours, and combinations. This uniqueness and authenticity is exactly why The Spice Drawer is able to continuously innovate to bring you new and exciting products, catering to a vast array of tastes and preferences. We are not bogged down with large quantities so we easily offer limited editions and seasonal offerings within our assortment.

Local Connections, Reduced Impact: Our small batch ethos extends to our direct relationships with local suppliers. This approach allows us to source top-tier, hand-picked ingredients from our trusted Canadian suppliers, supporting local economies and reducing the carbon footprint associated with mass production and long-distance transportation.
Preservation of Natural Goodness:
Our small batch production strategy safeguards the natural oils and flavours of our spices. Minimized exposure to air, light, and moisture maintains peak freshness, ensuring spices brim with maximum flavour.
