Control from field to finished product
We travel the globe visiting spice farms, examining crops and establishing long-term relationships with growers. Direct sourcing gives us total control of the process and a reliable supply chain.
About
How we do things is just as important as why we do them
Operating since 1987, Chesapeake Spice is a family-owned manufacturer and importer of spices and custom seasonings, built on direct sourcing, our own milling and relentless quality.
Our company
The world is our marketplace
Whether you are purchasing spices or seasoning blends, direct sourcing gives us a distinct competitive advantage — total control of the process from the fields to your finished products. That control ensures a consistent, reliable supply chain and lets us gather valuable market information to share with our customers.
Chesapeake is rich with experience and knowledge, and that is a major part of what defines us. We approach our business with excitement and enthusiasm, and we are proud of the products we make and how we make them.
