Spiva Cooking

Spiva Cooking When things got crazy in 2020, we got to grinding. As chefs, we know that fresh matters so we are grinding spices fresh daily!

After a pandemic induced layoff we took to the hustle of starting a spice company located in Bremerton, Washington.

It's back! The Dill Pickle
Dust has returned as our limited edition spice of the month.

Dill pickle dust was our second most popular spice of the month of all time- right behind the blackberry rub.

People have been coming into our shop and asking for this one all year, and I've said, "You will have to wait until it comes back," and now it's here.

Because this one has been so popular, here's what I want to do. If we sell 500 of this blend in the next 30 days (by 6/5) through our retail, wholesale, and online channels, it will become a part of our regular lineup of spice blends.

Now's your chance if you want this blend to be around. Vote by purchasing one or more, and let us hear it in the comments. Thank you for your support - It means the world to us.

We will also be doing some fun giveaways, so make sure to follow along for this journey.

Tuesday Fit Tip #68: Is Your Pantry LYING To You?

Apparently the internet has discovered a new crisis…

👉 Your pantry is full of “fake food.” 😱

Articles are circulating saying things like olive oil, honey, and spices are being tampered with.

And yes...there is a real concept called "food fraud"

Sometimes products get:

• diluted
• mislabeled
• substituted with cheaper ingredients

Olive oil might be blended with lower-grade oils. ❌
Honey can be cut with sugar syrups. ❌
Ground spices sometimes contain fillers or even dyes to enhance color. ❌

According to the FDA, food fraud may cost the global food industry $10–$40 billion every year. 💰

But before everyone throws out their spice rack…

Let’s relax.

Most of the time this isn’t dangerous.

It usually just means you might be paying premium prices for average products.

The real lesson here isn’t panic.

It’s awareness.

Buy quality foods.
Look for transparency.
Be skeptical of prices that seem too good to be true.

One great example locally is Spiva Cooking, where Sam sources high-quality ingredients and grinds many of his spices himself. It’s a good reminder that knowing where your food comes from, and who prepared it, still matters.

And remember…

The biggest nutrition problems most people face aren’t fraudulent cinnamon.

It’s not eating enough protein, not lifting weights, and living on ultra-processed food. 💪

Fix those first.

15-Minute Black Garlic Truffle-Infused Béchamel Sauce (white sauce) — perfect on pizza or tossed with pasta.

Simple, silky, insanely flavorful.

Inspired by classic French béchamel (milk thickened with a roux), this version adds black garlic and truffle for savory depth.

We turned ours into a pizza, but the possibilities are endless.

Ingredients (makes ~1.5 cup sauce)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups milk (whole milk preferred)
• 2 tsp black garlic truffle seasoning - our limited edition spice of the month.


Method
1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly until it forms a smooth roux — light blonde in color, no browning (~1–2 minutes).
3. Slowly add milk while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps.
4. Continue stirring as the sauce comes to a gentle simmer and thickens (about 5 minutes).
5. Stir in your black garlic truffle seasoning until fully incorporated.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Tip: If sauce gets too thick for your purpose, whisk in a splash more milk until it’s just right for your purpose.

New Drop Alert: Black Garlic Truffle

This blend has soul!

We sourced black garlic from our friends at Fresh Perspectives, then doubled down on umami:

→ Black truffle sea salt
→ Parmesan + cheddar
→ Shiitake mushroom
→ Chives

It’s rich, earthy, slightly sweet, and loaded with serious flavor.

Think of it as Trufflicious’ darker, deeper cousin.

Sprinkle it on fries, eggs, pasta, risotto, steak, popcorn, veggies or anything that needs saving from bland.

This one is a super limited batch. Don’t wait.

When the asked if we could make something special for National Popcorn Day…

We couldn't help but get excited!

Inspired by a Disney churro moment with my daughter (sparkling eyes + cinnamon-sugar joy in every bite), this one’s for the sweet tooth:

Cinnamon Churro Sprinkle
Cinnamon. Butter. Vanilla. Dark sugar.

Made for movie nights and magical memories.

Try some at the Roxy Theatre or bring it home from Spiva Cooking while it lasts.

New Release!

ROXY Cinnamon Churro Sprinkle Popcorn Seasoning

We took fresh cinnamon, turbinado sugar, Madagascar vanilla, and butter powder and built a seasoning that delivers the nostalgic taste of churros.

It’s part of our ongoing collaboration with the ROXY Theatre in downtown Bremerton. You can try it on fresh popcorn while watching a movie, or take a jar home and use it however you want.

It's designed for popcorn but you can use it for so much more. Try it on toast, pancakes, pastries, ice cream, sweet potatoes, and more.

This is our January spice of the month. Get some while its hot!
Now available online and in-store.
