Love of flavors and a trip to Greece
Love of flavors and a trip to Greece
We are Alex and Caroline, the mom and son behind Spices of Sparta! We started our spice micro business from our kitchen in Lafayette, CO, in 2026.
Alex has always enjoyed the smells and tastes of good food, and used to carry jars of spices around to smell them. He's currently taking culinary classes in high school.
Mom isn't as creative in the kitchen, so she very much needs spice mixes that work harder for her and can elevate the blandest of chicken and pasta.
A trip in Greece in 2025 built up Alex's motivation to become a chef and share the flavors that he loves : the classics like oregano and thyme, mixed with more niche finds like truffle or lemon pepper.
It turned out that we couldn't find what we wanted in store. So we decided to make it! And that's how Spices of Sparta were born, from our kitchen in Colorado.
The family business also includes Alex's brother, Adrien, as a trusted taster. He has suffered through countless variations of spiced pasta and chicken, particularly throughout our quest to develop Hestia's hybrid.
"I've suffered and loved through many of the spices."-Adrien
Dad, and many other friends, also kindly helped us finetune our recipes. We love feedback and we'd be delighted to hear from our customers, so feel free to share your thoughts at spicesofsparta@gmail.com.

We are able to produce and sell our spice mixes under Colorado's cottage food act. It allows us to mix spices in our home kitchen, that is not subject to state licensure or inspection, and that may also process common food allergens.
That means fresh small batches, home kitchen ingredients, and the ability to be a lot more creative than big brands!
Our products are not intended for resale. We only sell directly to Colorado customers, at local events or via local delivery - go to our shop to place an order!
