Andy Caneza, actually began packaging garlic in his mother's basement in New Orleans, LA. While going to college he found an opportunity to deliver garlic cloves to over 2,000 mom and pop stores, all out of his station wagon. Spice World has certainly come a long way and so have the people involved in the company. Spice World currently has three generations of family working in the business.
In fact since the seeds were planted in 1949, Spice World has grown from servicing local corner grocery stores into one of the largest producers of garlic in the nation. With processing plants and distribution centers across the country.
