Penzeys Spices - Yeah, they have that spice…

Filed under: website reviews — Nicky @ 7:13 am

Ever try to find a really exotic spice in your local grocery store, it’s like trying to find a needle in the haystack.  Sometimes, it is just impossible to find what you need or want close to home.  That’s why websites and catalogs like Penzeys Spice exist.  Save yourself the headache and hassle of checking every store in town and get online and find what you need.  Granted their website is not the fanciest website in the world, but they do know a thing or two about exotic herbs and spices.  Where else can you find four different kinds of cinnamon?  Tired of your store bought chili powder, make your own.  Penzeys carries a wide variety of dried chilis from mild to super hot.  The pricing is reasonable and you can decide the amount you need, all the way from 1/4 cup to 1 lb.  You can download the current catalog online with Acrobat Reader.  Intrigued, want to find out more, go to www.penzeys.com .

  1. I live in the Milwaukee area and out in Brookfield, a suburb, there is a Penzy’s factory store which is a treasure trove for your spice buying needs. I have to be physically restrained by my wife in order to not spend a whole bunch of money!

    I highly recommend their Kosher salt. It’s less coarse and more flavorful than the stuff you get out of the box from the grocery store.

  2. Chip,
    You are so lucky. Although, I am sure the temptation is almost too much to resist when you visit the store. Thanks for the recommendation on the kosher salt. I use kosher salt almost exclusively in my cooking and will be sure to check it out the next time I order from Penzeys.

    Thanks for stopping by!
    Best,
    Nicky
