About Nativo Spices

Nativo offers a variety of seasonings to help you create chef quality food in your very own kitchen. Taste the flavor of Argentina in our hand mixed seasoning blends, all inspired by a passion for flavor. Chef Katriel Menendez, the designer of Nativo Spices, began cooking for his family at an early age, learning from his grandparents how to cook traditional dishes from Spain and Italy, as well as cuisine from his first home, Argentina. As he built his career, Katriel traveled around the world studying a variety of cultural foods from five continents – areas like Patagonia, Dominican Republic, Dubai, Thailand, Senegal, France, Spain, and Italy. Katriel, who now calls the United States home, believes everyone can cook healthy food with worldly flavor. That’s why in 2017 he began offering American families his signature blends of herbs and spices. He hopes that with a little help from Nativo, families will be inspired to come back into their kitchens and once again enjoy the culture of cooking flavorful dishes together. The style is heavily influenced by his Argentinean background, but the palate expanded when our team started to travel around the world. This travels helped us incorporate different spices and seasoning into our meals. We found the best quality products and decided to turn all those years of experience and knowledge into an accessible package for everyone to enjoy. Read their story
