Their new store is on the main drag of a very trendy part of Calgary in Inglewood. You open the door to this gorgeous store and the aroma of spices smacks you awake. The fragrance of all these lovely spices, herbs and seasonings surrounds you. It is hard to choose when there is such a great selection. I have received these spices as a gift and have given them as gifts, plus have done my own purchasing. Their spices are very fresh and very aromatic. You will be surprised with the difference from a store brand. The staff is helpful and very pleasant. You can select their pre made gift boxes or have your own selection beautifully boxed. They also have shipping so they are just as easy as your local neighborhood store. Let Silk Road spice up your life.

This is the coolest gift a foodie could get. I received this from my loving friend Nan as a Christmas gift. I look at them, smell them and am completely enthralled by them. They are all like little gems. I unfortunately lost the insert for them describing each spice but the company which is based in England very kindly mailed me a new one. So I have been waiting on this to blog about them.

With unique blends of spices like White Mischief that has Smoked China tea, delicate jasmine and orange flowers, chili and aromatic Sichuan peppercorns, that they say goes well with fish, shell fish and vegetables. Others have unique names like Carnal Sin, Grains of Paradise, Salt of the Earth and Devil’s Penis Chili. To spices that have been treasured as much as gold over the years like nutmeg, saffron and cacao nibs. I will now be using these in my dishes and will report back to you about all their heavenly aromas and tastes.
