FROM THE FIELD—TO YOUR FOOD
Greatness isn’t made, it’s grown by passionate farmers from all over the world. Our commitment to quality means that you can trust the ingredients in every bottle of McCormick Gourmet and that they can help make flavors you love. For example, cinnamon product integrity is managed every step of the way, from source country to your door, by a comprehensive vendor certification quality program. And red pepper seeds must meet McCormick specs to ensure an optimum flavor and consistency.
FROM US—TO OUR FARMERS
Without the farmers, none of this would be possible. We’re dedicated to their success, and that doesn’t just mean the success of their crops. To reach our goal of improving the resilience of the smallholder farming communities in India who grow our five iconic herbs and spices, we will continue to improve their livelihoods, empower women with access to education and skills training, and invest in water purification systems to facilitate clean drinking water.
FROM FARMING—TO OUR FUTURE
The future has to be sustainable, that’s why we’re dedicated to making a measurable impact with how our farms operate. Initiatives to help reduce our environmental impact include supporting farmers in implementing integrated pest management systems and teaching biodynamic farming practices to eradicate the need for chemicals. We’re also working with partners to prevent deforestation by promoting more sustainable land management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this jar match a clean, neutral-toned kitchen aesthetic?
Yes. The McCormick Gourmet label uses a restrained color palette that blends with white, wood, and neutral spice racks. The compact 0.87 oz jar keeps the visual footprint small on open shelving or a magnetic strip.
How does one jar replace five bottles on my spice rack?
The blend combines thyme, sage, oregano, black pepper, and nutmeg in pre-measured ratios. You can remove those five individual containers and reclaim a row of shelf or drawer space for items you actually need.
Is the design simple enough for an intentional, less-is-more home?
Yes. The label is clean, the jar shape is classic, and there is no flashy artwork or oversized branding. It reads as a quiet, considered staple rather than a busy, decorative piece.
Can I store it on a minimalist open shelf without it looking cluttered?
Absolutely. Its slim profile and clear labeling make it easy to line up with a small, curated set of other daily-use spices, rather than a sprawling rack of 30+ jars.
Does the jar shape work with a magnetic spice strip?
The compact size fits most standard magnetic spice holders that accept small round jars. If your strip is sized for larger containers, you may need a slim adapter or a small labeled tin transfer.
Is the packaging recyclable or easy to dispose of?
The glass-style jar is widely recyclable in most curbside programs, and the plastic cap is usually accepted as well. You can rinse the jar and drop it into your regular recycling bin after the spices are used up.
Will one jar make my spice collection feel more curated?
Yes. Swapping five individual spices for one thoughtful blend is a common minimalist kitchen move. It forces you to choose quality over quantity and keeps only the spices you reach for regularly.
How does the compact size support a decluttered drawer?
At about 1.67 inches wide and 4.56 inches tall, it slips into shallow drawers, slim cabinet shelves, and tiered organizers without forcing you to remove other jars to make space.
Is this a good product to keep on a small apartment countertop?
Yes. Its small footprint and clean label make it appropriate for a visible countertop caddy or a small wooden tray of 'everyday' seasonings, rather than hiding it away in a deep cabinet.
Does the brand feel like it belongs in a high-design kitchen?
McCormick Gourmet is positioned as a premium sub-brand, and the label reflects that with a more elevated, less busy design than a standard grocery-store spice. It feels appropriate next to quality cookware and minimalist dinnerware.
Can I use this as a subtle hostess gift without breaking a minimalist gift style?
Yes. A single jar in a small kraft bag, a linen pouch, or a plain white box feels intentional and uncluttered. It is a restrained gift that does not require ribbons, wrapping paper, or excess packaging.
Does using one blend instead of five spices reduce the 'visual noise' of cooking?
Many minimalist cooks find it does. Fewer open jars on the counter during a cook means fewer smudged lids and less to wipe down after dinner, which supports the calm, post-meal cleanup they value.
Is there any downside to consolidating five spices into one jar?
The main trade-off is flexibility. If you want to season a dish that calls for sage only, you will need a separate jar of sage. For most home cooks focused on simplicity, the convenience outweighs the loss of having every single herb on hand.
How do I use McCormick Gourmet Organic Poultry Seasoning on a roast turkey?
Pat the turkey dry, then mix about 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning with 3 to 4 tablespoons of softened butter or olive oil. Rub the mixture under and over the skin, then roast as usual. Reserve a small pinch to stir into the pan gravy for extra aroma.
What is the correct ratio of poultry seasoning to use per pound of meat?
A good starting point is about 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning per pound of meat for chicken and turkey. For stuffing and gravy, use 1 to 2 teaspoons per 4 cups of liquid or bread mixture, then adjust to taste.
Can I use this seasoning in slow cooker or Instant Pot recipes?
Yes. Add the poultry seasoning at the start of cooking for a deeper, infused flavor, or sprinkle it in during the last 15 minutes for brighter herbal notes. It works well in slow cooker turkey breast, Instant Pot shredded chicken, and one-pot chicken and rice.
Does this poultry seasoning contain salt, or do I need to add my own?
The McCormick Gourmet Organic Poultry Seasoning blend is typically salt-free, which gives you full control over seasoning. Always taste the dish before adding extra salt, especially when seasoning brined or cured poultry.
Will this jar fit a standard spice rack shelf or magnetic strip?
Yes. The jar measures about 1.67 x 1.67 x 4.56 inches, which is compatible with most standard spice rack shelves, in-drawer organizers, and common magnetic spice holders. If your magnetic strip is sized for larger tins, you may need a small adapter.
What is in the jar and what do I need to buy separately?
Inside the jar is a pre-blended mix of organic thyme, sage, oregano, black pepper, and nutmeg. You do not need to buy any other spices to use it on poultry, stuffing, or gravy. If you want to complete a holiday pantry, consider adding salt, paprika, and garlic powder separately.
How should I store the jar to keep the herbs fresh?
Store the jar in a cool, dry cabinet away from direct sunlight, the stove, and the sink. Always reseal the cap tightly after use. Properly stored, the jar will retain peak aroma for 12 to 18 months after opening.
Is this seasoning safe for people with common food allergies?
The blend is vegan, gluten-free, and kosher-friendly, and contains no major allergens beyond what is naturally present in the listed herbs and spices. If you have a specific allergy, always read the full ingredient list printed on the jar before using.
What is the difference between poultry seasoning and a generic herb blend?
Poultry seasoning is a classic blend specifically designed for turkey and chicken, typically built around sage and thyme with supporting herbs like oregano, marjoram, pepper, and nutmeg. A generic herb blend is more general-purpose and may not include the warm, savory notes that complement poultry, stuffing, and gravy.
