Curio Spice Company
About
Curio Spice Company is a Cambridge spice maker and certified B Corp, owned by women, that sources spices directly from small, sustainable farms, both locally and around the world. Its range includes single spices, rare herbs, original recipes, and signature blends that founder Claire developed from her travels, each meant to evoke a particular place. Spices are packed in-house in Massachusetts, free of irradiation, GMOs, and fillers, and the signature blends are made in small batches.
Claire started Curio out of her garage with a blender and a few hundred dollars, and it has grown into a small, mission-driven company. It focuses on improving the lives of spice farmers, especially women growers, by paying well above Fair Trade prices, and its Curio for a Cause campaigns support gender equality, climate resilience, and community empowerment. Locally, the Spice Lab serves as a culinary education hub with free and ticketed classes and events.
