History
The Charleston Spice Company was founded in 2009 by Garnette Tuten and Jeremy DiAsio. You could say that it started long before that in Peru where Garnette was exposed to new cultures and flavours that came to define her palate as much as her Southern upbringing. Both Jeremy and Garnette have strong roots in the South but each had a desire to explore and expand their culinary worlds. Looking to share this joy of culinary exploration with the people of Charleston they started selling their blends at the Summerville Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. Over the years they gradually added more markets and more blends to the line up. In 2013 Jeremy left the company to continue with the next chapter of his life with his husband in Washington DC. Garnette's daughter, Caitlin, joined the team and has worked on growing the company's online and social media presence. Together Garnette and Caitlin continue to experiment and explore new and interesting ways to use herbs and spices.
