WE GO Further for flavour
Great flavour begins with ingredients grown with care by farming communities around the world.
FROM FARM TO FLAVOUR
McCormick Gourmet begins with herbs and spices chosen for the aroma, colour and flavour that bring more to every dish.
INGREDIENTS CHOSEN WITH CARE
RED PEPPER
Red Pepper seeds are sown in nurseries and seedlings are transplanted to the field.
THYME
Thyme is sourced from whole branches to improve flavour and reduce the risk of added ingredients.
CINNAMON
Cinnamon is ground and bottled in our own facilities to maintain consistent product integrity.
GROWING RESILIENCE TOGETHER
We partner with farming communities to help strengthen livelihoods, build skills and support more resilient supply chains.
McCormick has exceeded its goal to improve resilience among 90% of smallholder farmers growing key herbs and spices, positively impacting more than 57,000 farmers to date.
HOW WE SUPPORT FARMING COMMUNITIES

EMPOWER
We continue to empower women in the farming communities of our herbs and spices with access to education and skills training.
INVEST
