OCCO
Occo co-founders Connie Wang and Lisa Carson were inspired to find a better way to store and sell spices because of their own cooking frustrations.
Occo spices are deliciously fresh and flavorful, crafted from the sustainable, transparent supply chains of small-scale spice merchants who have established farm-level relationships over the years. Contrary to common belief, ground spices lose their essence within 3-6 months due to the effects of exposure to oxygen, light, heat, and humidity--factors that can all be found in the home. Their signature spice pods are portioned to contain a half-teaspoon of product and are kept airtight via a modified atmosphere packaging technique. The pods are produced from the most sustainable and recyclable material--aluminum--of which 75% remains in use today! The remainder of their packaging is composed of paperboard which is easily recycled alongside other paper and cardboard.
