Mace

Mace

Ground from the lacy outer covering of the nutmeg, commonly called "blades," mace imparts a sweet and pungent flavor that is different from nutmeg and even complements it. French cuisine sometimes calls for them to be used in tandem to balance the flavors. Try mace as an accent in bechamel sauce, creamed spinach, or spanikopita.

Mayan Cocoa

Enjoy the combination of warm chocolate and chile in this rich, bittersweet blend. The delicious comfort of drinking chocolate is ancient ritual, and both the Aztec and Mayan people believed cocoa to be a gift from the gods.

Our mix rests on a deep chocolate base with a mellow chile warmth alongside the intricate flavors of true cinnamon and allspice. Brewing InstructionsTo enjoy a mug, whisk together 2 tablespoons of Mayan Cocoa per cup of whole milk (or your creamiest preferred alternative) and heat to just below boiling.

Memphis Beale St. BBQ Rub

Memphis Beale St. BBQ Rub

Memphis sits smack dab in the center of barbecue country and proudly touts itself as "Pork Barbecue Capital of the World." Although they will entertain an occasional brisket, BBQ in Memphis means pork—chopped or pulled pork shoulder sandwiches and ribs are the cuts of choice. To accentuate all this pork we've included a generous amount of allspice in the rub, and the coriander, celery seeds, and yellow mustard seeds are left whole to create a mouth watering texture on the meat.

A bold, citrusy herb with earthy undertones. Despite its common name, Mexican oregano is not botanically related to Turkish oregano, but has a history and flavor all its own. It’s a cornerstone of Latin American cooking, perfect for salsas, chili, enchiladas, and authentic spice blends. As with all dried herbs, be sure to crumble it to release maximum flavor.

Montreal Steak & Chop

Montreal Steak & Chop

Montreal Steak & Chop is inspired by the French flair for deft seasoning and the British love of large slabs of beef.

Moroccan Mint

Moroccan Mint

All around the Middle East and Northern Africa, a blend is made of Chinese gunpowder tea and peppermint. The brewed tea is then poured over small cones of unrefined sugar and the resulting beverage, Moroccan Mint, is sipped continuously during the hot afternoons. We enjoy Moroccan Mint iced as well.  Brewing Instructions: Steep 2-3 teaspoons per 8oz cup at 180°F for 2-3 minutes. (Too long of a steeping will result in bitterness!)

Mulato Chile

Mulato Chile

Like the ancho, the mulato is a variation of dried poblano and a vital component of mole sauces. With hints of dried fruit and a mild spiciness, this chile works well pureed as an enchilada sauce and can also be added to soups, and stews.

Mulling Spice

Mulling Spice

The warm, festive aroma of Mulling Spice is a holiday classic. Whether you are caroling or cuddling by the fire, be sure to have a pot of mulled wine or cider warming gently on the stove to make the scene complete. We like to use 1-2 tablespoons of crushed spice per quart of liquid warmed gently for 10-15 minutes. The key to great mulling is to not let the brew boil. Now go sing some holiday songs already!

For mustard powder, our first choice is this Coleman's Mustard because it is specially processed yielding a bright intensity and flavor. The texture easily disperses into any dish. It is one of the few branded spices that we carry. Mix with water for a simple spread or add in any recipe that calls for mustard powder from potato salad to deviled eggs.
