Meet the Duo

Kent and CherylAnn found each other in February of 2012 and instantly connected over their shared love of family, hospitality, music, travel, and food.

During their first holiday season together, Kent developed seasoning blends for their Christmas gifts. Souper Salt was created that Christmas, as well as a blend that would become the flagship SPG (Salt, Pepper, Garlic).

Eventually, they discovered they could use fresh garlic instead of drying it, resulting in the unique and explosive flavors enjoyed today.

“Anyone can become more comfortable and confident in the kitchen to better improvise and cook from the heart. Our seasoning salts make this just a little bit easier by ensuring tasty results!”
