Having a fully stocked pantry is helpful for creating meals on a whim at home but this can also mean that the spices and seasonings stocked in one's cupboards are past their prime—and Occo aims to change this with its frozen spices, which are touted as "molecularly fresher."
Occo favors recyclable aluminum packaging that allows individual portions of spices to be used as needed, keeping the contents at peak freshness. These simply designed packs are labeled in a way that makes them easy to store and quickly identify the exact ingredient needed for a particular recipe. Each card-style pack contains a total of three teaspoons, with the individual pockets containing a quarter of a teaspoon of ginger, nutmeg, oregano or another kind from Occo's Essential Collection of foundational kitchen spices.
