What’s the difference between a good meal and a great meal? It’s twice as nice with spice.

Add a kick to your cooking with just the right seasoning or enhance the taste of your baked goods with a dash of flavor. Strack & Van Til makes it easy, with its new line of high-quality spices, rubs and seasonings.

Bottled by Nutmeg Spice, an independent, family-owned company, Strack & Van Til brand spices are freshly stocked at your local store. Most Strack & Van Til locations have large displays in the spice aisle, with more than 100 varieties of spices, rubs, seasonings and marinades. For stores with smaller displays visit the Meat Department to find the selection of Strack & Van Til spice rubs.

“We offer unique varieties, as well as everyday spices,” said Darren Kinach, Strack & Van Til Center Store sales manager. “You won’t find these spices anywhere else in Northwest Indiana.”

Choose from more traditional spices such as garlic powder, basil, pepper, minced onion, garlic salt, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, nutmeg, rosemary and ginger.

Indulge in the flavors of unique rubs including Beer Can Chicken Rub, St. Louis BBQ Rib Rub, Ultimate Steakhouse Prime Rib Rub, Vermont Maple Bourbon BBQ Rub, Honey Mustard Rub, Buffalo Wing Rub, Memphis BBQ Rub and Kansas City Steak Rub.

In addition, select from innovative blends such as Guacamole Seasoning, Baja Fish Taco Seasoning, Cedar Plank Sweet and Smoky Seasoning, BBQ Seasoning, Seasoning Salt, Harvest Seasoning, Italian Seasoning and Cape Cod Seafood Seasoning.

The spices, rubs and seasonings are available in bigger bottles than conventional spice brands – from 2 to 17 ounces – and range in price from $3.99 to $9.99 per bottle.

“The choice of sizes and reasonable prices make these products a great value to the customer, especially as compared to national brands,” Kinach said.

“For delicious home cooking and baking, be sure to flavor your foods with our high-quality spices,” said Chief Marketing & Merchandising Officer Michael Tyson. “When it comes to making your life easier overall, you can always depend on Strack & Van Til.”
