Shop for Spices and Seasonings at the best in class emporium located in Evanston, Illinois USA (five stores in all). The Spice House is a merchant of the highest quality, hand-selected and hand-prepared spices and herbs. Their high turnover insures freshness - I have been shopping there for years and have always been very pleased - especially by the amazing variety they offer. Just as importantly you can purchase very small quantities, lowering your opportunity cost when small amounts of a spice are required for an unusual recipe.
From their web site: "Our philosophy has always been to make you the freshest product by small, weekly batch grinding to ensure you the highest quality spices for your cooking needs. We import spices from countries of origin which have the highest recommendations for premium quality. Often, we offer several selections of origin so that you can sample the subtle variations and decide upon your own personal preference. The tools of our trade are a series of large stainless-steel scoops, mixing bowls, sifting screens of various mesh sizes, a small vibrating sifter, a collection of old-style stone and shearing mills, and most importantly, our human senses."
Second generation owners Tom and Patty Erd are knowledgeable merchants dedicated to their trade.
