It may seem crazy to live in Glendale, CA (next door to Los Angeles) but order Fine Herbes from a spice store in Chicago, but it is definitely worth it!
I first discovered The Spice House when I was searching for Pomegranate Molasses. I was sent a catalog which was wonderful! Even the table of contents was amazing - spices with salt were distinguished from unsalted spices by the use of italicized vs. regular font.
But it didn't end there. Aside from the great selection of spices, the customer service was wonderful, especially for those of us who grew up in homes with not much more than salt on our food.
I contacted The Spice House asking what spices you would recommend on eggs or egg whites - I needed to cut back on my salt intake. I got a response promptly, and with no judgement. Fine Herbes was the top recommendation.
It works very well with eggs and I didn't miss the salt!
In a pinch, I am sorry to say, I would get Fines Herbes from stores here, but none of them seem to carry it any more. It might not help that I grew up in Canada and pronounce Fines Herbes in French, which it should be!
I've run out again and it's time to reorder, so I thought I'd get on my soap box.
You guys are the best! My only lament is that you no longer have a paper catalog and you no longer carry pomegranate molasses. But I forgive you! ;-)
Finally, I was in Chicago in 2015 for a Lithuanian Song Festival. Your store was close to the festival venue, so my brother and I paid a visit and purchased spices and rubs. Just great! And the same wonderful customer service as always!
Thank you!!!
