Our vision is to unite people through this one-of-a-kind taste, turning every kitchen, eatery, and curated spice collection into a place where the spirit of community and comfort thrives.
The Food
Our secret chili recipe is derived from a Greek pasta dish that was brought to America by immigrants in the early 1900’s. The Cincinnati area has over 250 chili parlors with both “chain” and independent stores. Our goal was to create a flavor profile that was the “best of Cincinnati chili” appealing to native Cincinnati chili fans as well as a broader audience. In Greek, “ζυμαρικά με παραδοσιακή σάλτσα κιμά και τυρί” means “pasta with traditional minced meat sauce and cheese.”
Our Cincinnati Chili Company spice recipe features a bold blend of 15 all-natural spices, crafted fresh with no preservatives. Whether you’re topping pasta, creating a flavorful meat sauce, pairing it with 100% all-beef hot dogs, or finishing with freshly shredded cheddar cheese, this iconic mix delivers a taste that captivates the senses. Perfect for home cooks, restaurants, food trucks, hot dog carts, specialty gift spice shops, and beyond—once you experience it, you’ll keep coming back for more.
