Our spices are a celebration of the natural bounty of the earth.
From line cook to executive chef, Philip Abbott toiled through French kitchens with a singular pursuit: the mastery of gastronomy. Like many chefs, he found that access to premium spices and other ingredients worthy of his kitchen required hours of sourcing and long relationships with exclusive vendors. So Philip resolved to bridge the gap between chefs and the premium spices needed to master their craft. Gathering the world in one warehouse, he formed Terra Spice
His passion for quality ingredients began early — preserving seasonal harvests with family in North Dakota, gardening alongside an organic-farming mentor in Wisconsin, and working in professional kitchens at age 15. Philip advanced through fine-dining kitchens in New England, Florida, and California's Napa and Sonoma regions before founding Terra Spice in South Bend in 2002.
Like a French kitchen, Terra Spice represents a pursuit of excellence. The aim is to bring the world’s finest ingredients to your kitchen. We blend in small batches and package to order - no shortcuts, no compromises.
Today, Terra Spice invites you to join the pursuit of excellence by seasoning your kitchens with the finest ingredients.
