When was Chef Merito founded?
On January 17, 1985, The Garcia Family decided it was time to blend herbs and spices together
to create some of the world's finest spices and seasonings. They decided
to call the company Chef Merito, which means "The little authentic
chef." Today, after 16 years of business, Chef Merito is a rapidly
growing multi-million dollar company.
Are Chef Merito products only for preparing or consuming Mexican food?
No. Although we target the consumer of Mexican foods, Chef Merito prepares
seasonings and spices and specialty foods for all consumers. Of course,
our tastes are inclined towards the Latin American and Mexican culinary
palates, but in the modern world of cooking (which emphasizes the fusion
of different cuisines) anyone can put Mexican hot sauce on Chinese vegetable
spring rolls or make "carne asada quiche" or "spicy chocolate chip cookies."
If you know Mexican cooking, Chef Merito will make your life easier;
if you don't, we can show you how. We want you to experiment with our
products to create your own, individual cuisine. Enjoy!
Does Chef Merito contribute to charitable organizations?
Yes. Chef Merito's primary charities are linked to education. Chef Merito
currently sponsors an ongoing scholarship program for several organizations
including a full four-year scholarship at UCLA. However, Chef Merito may
also contribute to other charities from time to time, depending on our
financial situation.
