ISO - Best Place To Buy Spices

[sweetD]

Where is the best place to purchase high quality spices and herbs? Or a high quality brand? Preferably on-line.

Penzeys Spices. Over 250 Spices, Herbs and Seasonings. is a pretty good bet.

Penzeys! Vote #2!

Penzeys is who I use. Check their website. They also have a number of stores scattered around the US.

I also vote for Penzeys. I do have a local spice merchant I like, but I've lived around the country, and Penzeys for on line purchases.

Thank you

I was thinking about asking the same question. I just bookmarked the website in my favorites. Thank you!!!

The Spice House is also very good.

My vote of Penzey also.

Penzeys, again! Online is easy, but if you ever get a chance to visit a store, you will love it. Smells wonderful just walking in, and all the spices and mixes are available to sniff, so you can choose which cinnamon appeals to your nose!

Another vote for Penzeys. They have a store less than 5 miles from me. It's one of the best smelling places I know.

Penzeys, for sure.

I like them better than the Spice House. But very similar.

Well I'll be. I looked up Penzeys, and they just opened a new store 30 miles from me. This calls for action.

The great thing about a Penzey's store is that you can try most of their spices. For me, the nearest store (Madison, WI) is 90 miles away, and I'm a wimp for winter driving and have a babydog I'm still training, so don't want to leave her alone for an all-day affair. So it is nice to know that I've been to the store and sniffed and tasted, then I get their regular catalog (which has great stories and recipes to go with the spices, well worth getting on their snail-mail catalog list), then when I need something I can't get the same quality of here, I order on-line a couple times a year.

Another vote for Penzy's!

I ordered online from them and just last year they opened a store right near my house, and boy do I love that store!

I pretty much get all my spices from them now.
