Back in NYC

What I enjoy most about having lived in so many different places within the last 10 years is the culinary variety I was bound to experience. From German Potato dumplings, Dutch Cheese, Finish Cinnamon Buns, to New England Lobster Rolls, little bit of Tex/Mex and Maryland Crab Cakes, I have loved every bite of it.

This summer we relocated from Maryland back to Connecticut. I had no idea how much I missed the City. All the fantastic restaurants and the diversity of food available to you. One of my favorite places is Chelsea Market, If you have not been you have to go and check it out.

Spices and Tease


Four generations ago our family started a small spice business in the surroundings of Naples Italy. Very soon after, the quality as well as the variety of their products resulted as an immediate success.

Early 1960s our branch of the family expanded the business to the South of France and then Paris where they are still today providing exceptional quality spices to French connoisseurs and Chefs.

In 2003, We the two Cousins Francois and Bruno decided to come to America, to share our approach to culinary excellence through our search of only 1st grade products, rich of our family legacy and experience of nearly a century trading spices and teas with the best farms and small producers all over the world.
