i'm obsessed with this flavour, I want it on everything.

We absolutely love using Big Cove spices in our kitchen! They're free from fillers and packed with incredible flavour. The sampler sets are perfect gifts for friends, family, and clients who want to experience the unique tastes of Nova Scotia. We highly recommend using these spices in your daily cooking and sharing them with others.

Big Cove spice blends do not disappoint they are packed with flavour. When I go camping or to the cottage I pack a bottle or a mix of pouches. it is a must pack item, one less thing to worry about when cooking. Great for meats, but also go perfect on veggies and potatoes -delicious!! Can't say enough great things behind this product, and Sarah & Dave are amazing!

The flavour was unbelievable. The family really enjoyed taco night. Totally recommend.

Ghost taco makes everything taste delicious! I put it on chicken thighs and fry them with olive oil and use in a sandwich or on tuna and lightly sear it I use it on everything! It’s amazing like all the spices !

I received a free sample to try! I really liked it! It is very spicy but in a good way. My husband found it too hot but he is a wimp. I would love to try other flavours that you have available! I love to support small business and wish you lots of success! Definitely a recommendation from me and I would buy more!

Great products and they add the extra special flavour to a variety of deserts! I am looking forward to trying more of the recipes from Big Cove Foods!

I have tried each one and they are delicious! Hard to pick a favourite! They are going to be a staple in my spice rack!

Incredible flavours! I will be purchasing these spices again and again! Great service, recipes and fast shipping!

Had it on salmon

Got my sample pac and immediately knew it had to go on steak. Mixed the pac with 3 tbsp of worcestershire, 3 tbsp veg oil and 0.5 cup of water and let the steak sit over night. Outstanding flavor and so tender! Thanks so much

I recieved my sample and immediately planned to make a big pot of chicken and black bean chili! Egyptian Summer added a wonderful flavor and just the right amount of heat for my family. I can't wait to try the rest!!

I used this rub on a bbq pork tenderloin and the spice level was perfect. I loved the subtle mushroom flavour and I can't wait to try it with veggies next. There is a lot of spice for the price and a little goes a long way which is always nice

I ordered this on a bit of a whim but I have zero regrets. They really are quality products. Having the recipe library is great too.

The spice blend is delicious. It is quite spicy. If you do not like spicy food, this is not the spice for you (even though it is marked as mild). It is deliciously smokey though.
