Who we are
A small Dallas mill that treats freshness as a spec, not a slogan
We started in 2009 in a 3,200 sq ft bay off Fancher Drive with one hammer mill, a sifter and a customer list of eleven West Dallas taquerias. Today we run four mills and a dedicated allergen-segregated blend room from the same street — still family-owned, still answering the phone ourselves.
Everything we sell is bought as whole seed, pod or bark and ground against a live order. That single rule is why our cumin smells like cumin when the box is opened in your kitchen, and why chefs stop reformulating around a fading ingredient.

What we do
Four ways kitchens work with us
From a single case of ground ancho to a scheduled private-label run with your artwork on the jar.
✦
Custom blending
Bring a recipe or build one with us. Batches from 25 lb pilot up to 2,000 lb, ribbon-blended and lot-coded.
▣
Private label
Fill, seal, label and case your retail jars or pouches. Nitrogen flush and tamper bands available.
⇄
Standing programs
Weekly or monthly par-based deliveries across DFW with fixed pricing windows and one consolidated invoice.
Freshness, measured
What "ground to order" actually changes
01
Volatile oil retention
Cumin loses roughly a third of its volatile oil within 90 days of grinding in standard retail packaging. Our average ship-after-grind is under two days.
02
Colour hold
Paprika ASTA colour is measured on receipt and again at release. We publish the reading on every certificate of analysis.
03
Yield in the pan
Kitchens routinely cut seasoning usage 10–15% after switching, because they stop over-dosing to chase flavour from tired product.
Ordering

"We moved eleven restaurants over in one quarter. The chile blend is consistent batch to batch, which is the whole ballgame for us."

— Purchasing manager, Texas co-packer"Small enough to take our 40 lb order seriously, organized enough to give us COAs every time."
