Curio Spice Co
About
Curio Spice Co. is a woman-owned, B Corp certified spice company in Cambridge known for ethically sourced spices from small farms and blends made in-house. Founder Claire created its signature blends from her travels, aiming to capture a sense of place in each one. The spices are non-irradiated and non-GMO with no fillers, packed in Massachusetts in recyclable tins, and sold alongside rare spices, herbs, recipes, and gifts for curious cooks.
Claire started the business in 2015 out of her garage with 600 dollars and a blender. Curio buys directly from small and women farmers, sometimes paying as much as ten times the commodity rate, and supports causes through its Curio for a Cause campaigns. Its Spice Lab hosts free and ticketed community events, and the company runs build-your-own spice and tea blend bars for conferences, receptions, and corporate offices.
