In September, 1889, in Baltimore Maryland, McCormick & Company was started by 25 year old Willoughby M. McCormick. His motto was "Make the Best ? someone will buy it." His first products were root beer, flavoring extracts, fruit syrups, and juices. They were sold under the Bee Brand and Silver Medal trademarks. Other products made at this time were Iron Glue (Sticks Everything But The Buyer), and Uncle Sam's Nerve and Bone Liniment (For Man or Beast). McCormick sold his products door-to-door.

By 1890, the company had grown tremendously and occupied a four story building. In 1896, the first McCormick cookbook was published, and an export business was initiated. But, in 1904, as the Great Baltimore Fire raged over the business district, all the company's assets and records were lost. Willoughby wrote, "I had built up my business until it was the largest of its kind in the United States and now it is the smallest of the small."

However, McCormick & Company weathered the fire, and then the Depression, survived and flourished, and has grown to be the largest U.S. seller of spices, seasonings, and flavorings to the world.

Open any spice pantry in America today, and you will likely find McCormick products. Most all of the McCormick spice line is certified OU kosher. There is no master list of McCormick kosher spices; the company encourages the consumer to check each individual product. And, there are many! McCormick produces several spice and flavoring lines, including its most popular bestsellers: black pepper, vanilla extract and cinnamon. View all of the classics at McCormick Spices A to Z.

The company also offers organic spices and handy spice blends. The blends are time savers! No need to combine spices, no guesswork
