Fresco Spice Blends are created without the use of any preservatives or additives. This is our new packaging. We originally had tins with a see through lid. The lids after some use were difficult to remove. So after a year we listened to our customers. We changed to a much better container & using a color code label on top, a clear label on front of container with the name of blend on it. On the bottom using a white gloss label weight & for a recipe. Everyone loves the new packaging!
