Spicewalla
Asheville, North Carolina
Founded in Asheville, North Carolina by chef Meherwan Irani of the James Beard Award-winning restaurant Chai Pani, Spicewalla treats spices the way Indian kitchens always have — like fresh produce, roasted and ground rather than left to fade on a warehouse shelf. Its collection spans single spices, chef-developed blends and rubs, and teas, all packed in small batches in Asheville. Built by chefs for everyone who loves to cook: no gimmicks, no shortcuts, just real-deal spices.
