Our Philosophy
Go the Distance to Provide you the best
We travel to far-off lands in our pursuit of pure herbs and spices. Since our 1889 beginnings in Baltimore, it’s been our quest to search for high quality ingredients.
McCormick’s pure cinnamon is just one example, primarily sourced from the central Sumatra region of Indonesia. The cinnamon tress we sustainably harvest can take up to 20 years to develop the high volatile oils that give our cinnamon its warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavour and rich mahogany color. The cinnamon bark is cut, cleaned, sorted, dried, aged and tested for quality at our Padang facility—then carefully packaged for a trip to the United States. At our mill in Hunt Valley, Maryland, the cinammon is unloaded, cleaned blended and bottled. The cinnamon is always tested for quality, consistency, and flavour, like every herb and spice from McCormick.
We source from over 100 countries around the world. That same commitment to quality carries all the way up the supply chain, supported by our stringent food safety standards. It’s an attribute that both you and your customers can taste, and one can transform your meals from good to great.
