The Rio Seasoning Company

The Rio Seasoning Company We at The Rio Seasoning Company go to great lengths to ensure that our Brazilian inspired seasonings are unique and of superior quality. Is it a rub? Yes.

They were created for those who love cooking and especially for those who love eating. Thirty years ago a Brazilian chef wanted to create a special seasoning that was worthy of using in his restaurant. After a great deal of tinkering, he finally succeeded in creating a blend of spices and fresh vegetables that won the critical acclaim of his customers. They, in fact, raved over it. This chef’s nie

ce, a Brazilian named Diva, was given this seasoning recipe and for the past eight years, she and her husband, Richard, have been making small batches of it and giving it away in Tupperware containers to friends and family. Almost without exception, those who used it loved it and suggested that this unique blend should be available for others to enjoy. We are the Rio Seasoning Company- a family owned (Diva and Richard Curtis) business based in Deer Park, Washington. In addition to “Rio Original”, Diva developed two additional flavors that are “variations on a theme” so to speak. They are: “Rio Hot” and “Rio Chicken”. They each have their own identity but are still part of the same family.

“Rio” is isn't easy to produce. It requires a great deal of time and speciality ingredients. It would be tempting to cut corners, however, it is important for us to remain faithful to the original recipe. If we compromised on the quality, it would no longer be “Rio.” In the end, the only deviation from the original recipe was cutting back the salt content. We find it difficult to categorize exactly what “Rio” primarily is. It works very well on all meats as a rub. Is it a seasoned salt? Most definitely. It can be used as a seasoned salt with excellent results. The point is, “Rio” is an extremely versatile seasoning. If you really like to cook and like tasty food, you should try it. It is likely that the more you use it, the more you will discover new avenues.

Our Story

The Rio Seasoning Company is a family-owned business that specializes in made-from-scratch, small batch, artisanal seasonings. Diva and Richard Curtis, husband and wife owners, founded The Rio Seasoning Company in 2014 using a recipe brought from Brazil over 30 years ago.

About three decades ago, a Brazilian chef wanted to create a special seasoning that was worthy of using in his restaurant. After a great deal of tinkering, he finally succeeded in creating a blend of spices and fresh vegetables that won the critical acclaim of his customers. In fact, his customers raved over the unique seasoning.

This chef’s niece, Diva, was given this seasoning recipe. Four years ago, Diva and Richard began making the seasoning from scratch in their kitchen. This makes the Rio Seasonings truly an artisan food experience. At first, they were just giving it away in Tupperware containers to their friends and family. Without exception, those who used it, loved it, and suggested that this unique blend should be available for others to enjoy.

Fast forward, and the Rio Seasoning Company is a family-owned business operating in Deer Park, WA (just north of Spokane). The Original flavor of Rio Seasoning was so popular, Diva decided to diversify the flavor and added “variations on a theme.” The additional flavors of the Brazil inspired seasonings are “Rio Hot” and “Rio Chicken”. They each have their own identity but are still part of the same family. What’s truly unique about all three flavors - Original, Hot, and Chicken - is that none of the flavors are made using any animal products*
