SPICES OF PUMPKIN SPICE

There are certain spices whose aromas are indelibly linked with autumn. Cinnamon's spicy sweetness wafting in warm kitchens is certainly a signifier of cooler temperatures, but it is the pungency of cloves and nutmeg that really arouse seasonal associations. If you want an aromatic treat, buy these spices whole and grind them yourself as you need them. But if you can't wait to get right into your fall baking, our ground spices are milled fresh in small batches and will deliver that same olfactory bliss. Opening a jar of our freshly ground cloves, allspice berries, or nutmeg will whisk you immediately into pumpkin season and whet your appetite for pies and lattes. Of course, you can take everyone's favorite short cut and buy a pre-blended mix of PUMPKIN PIE SPICE.
