A Taste Worth Sharing

Loosen your belt! OLD BAY® is a seasoning that simply makes you want to eat more! Seafood lovers swear by it, and now the whole world is sharing in the flavor that once belonged solely to the Chesapeake Bay area.

 

Once Upon a Crab

The legend of OLD BAY starts with the beloved blue crab. In 1939, German immigrant Gustav Brunn settled in Baltimore among the crab lovers of Maryland. With only a hand-held spice grinder and a dream of starting a spice business, he developed the secret recipe that would become the legendary OLD BAY seasoning.

 

Sixty years later, his original recipe is used worldwide by renowned chefs and seafood restaurants, as well as everyday folks.

 

A Flavor Icon

Just as the recipe hasn’t changed, neither has the can (we’re old school like that). The yellow and blue can with the red top you see in the grocery store – it’s the same one your pop used and his pop before him. It’s as familiar as the comfort foods and family recipes we sprinkle it on. When you see the yellow can, you know you’re in good company, among good friends and very, very good food.
