Claire Cheney founded Curio Spice Co in 2015. She is an adventurous, self-taught cook who has traveled throughout the world. After self-publishing a book on saffron in 2012 she began researching the stories behind the spices by visiting spice farms and communities all over the world. Curio Spice Co. is a mission driven benefit corporation, working to reverse the exploitive practices inherent to the commodity spice market by sourcing directly from farmers, and choosing partnerships based on the highest standards of environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
