about us
We started with clean label condiments and perfected them
From there, we partnered with growers and producers we trust, sourcing with intention to expand our footprint—from vine-ripened California tomatoes, to olive oil in Seville, to family-farmed Pennsylvania honey.
Now, we’re bringing that spirit to the rest of the pantry
Oils for cooking, meal builders for weeknight dinners, chips and salsas for snacking, and sauces for everything from burgers to dessert. Made for real meals, and the people you share them with. Because when you start with great ingredients, great flavor follows.
For co-founder Glen Powell, that idea was close to home.
Growing up around Texas backyard barbecues and weeknight dinners—the kind of meals that bring people together—the classics were always on the table. At a closer look, though, the ingredients behind them didn’t always measure up.
We believe what you cook with matters just as much as what you cook
