Badia Spices: the spices from Little Havana that conquered the world since 1967!

In 1967, José Badía opened a little grocery store in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami. A Cuban exile who arrived in the US with his family in the 60s, he brought with him the flavors of Havana and a passion for spices. In that corner of Miami where America meets the Caribbean, he created his first blends. Today, Badia Spices is sold in more than 80 countries — a 3-generation family brand that reshaped the American spice aisle. My American Market hand-picks the best products just for you!

From Little Havana to the whole world — the Badia story

At 14, Joseph "Pepé" Badía left Cuba alone through Operation Peter Pan — a humanitarian effort that evacuated thousands of Cuban children to the US in 1960-62. He joined his father José in Miami a few years later. In 1970, Pepé took over the day-to-day running of the small family store. What was a modest shop became a national, then global distribution company. Today, the slogan says it all: "The Soul of Cooking".

Badia's strength? A range of more than 400 products covering both premium-quality pure spices and creative blends you won't find anywhere else. From simple pink salt to Everything Bagel Seasoning to BBQ rubs co-branded with Kingsford — Badia always surprises you!
