Who we are
Astoria Spice Co. was born in one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the world—Astoria, Queens—where markets overflow with global ingredients and every block hints at a new culinary tradition. Living here reshaped the way we cooked at home. We realized that elevated cooking isn’t about complicated techniques; it starts with exceptional ingredients.
Our name reflects that belief. Centuries ago, rare spices drove explorers across oceans and shaped entire empires. Today, those same flavors are within reach, yet true quality remains uncommon. We founded Astoria Spice Co. to honor that heritage: sourcing with intention, curating with discernment, and bringing timeless global spices into the modern kitchen.
Each jar represents the flavors that inspired us in Astoria—bold, aromatic, and rooted in culture. No theatrics, no clutter. Just exceptional spices chosen for cooks who value depth, character, and authenticity. We believe everyday meals deserve the same respect as a celebration, and the right spice can transform even the simplest dish.
Astoria Spice Co. is our way of sharing those discoveries. A tribute to global flavor, shaped by the neighborhood we call home.
