When Oaktown Spice Shop founders John Beaver and Erica Perez moved to Oakland, they found a community that placed immense value on food. People went to the farmer's market for their produce and the butcher shop for their meat. Why were they not putting as much thought into where they bought their spices?

From John’s experience working at a spice shop in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he knew the difference between high-quality whole spices -- bursting with flavor, plump in shape and vibrant in color -- and their inferior counterparts. Grinding spices in the mill every day also taught him the advantage of freshly ground spices. The moment a whole spice is ground, it begins to release its oils and lose flavor. Grocery store spices, ground years before, were paltry substitutes for the freshly ground stuff.

Inspired by this desire for the highest-quality spices, they launched Oaktown Spice Shop in 2011 to share these delicious ingredients with you.
