FAQs

What makes Margeaux’s Gourmet Seasonings different?

Margeaux’s Gourmet Seasonings was created with one goal in mind: to make it easier to create unforgettable flavor at home. What sets our blends apart is our focus on dried herbs, carefully selected spices, and low salt. Instead of relying heavily on salt to create flavor, we build layers of flavor with aromatic herbs and spices that complement the natural taste of your food—not overpower it. Each blend is thoughtfully developed by Chef Margeaux to deliver balanced, full-bodied flavor without requiring a cabinet full of spices. Our seasonings take the guesswork out of seasoning and help everyday cooks create meals that taste like they spent hours in the kitchen. It’s gourmet flavor made simple—just Shake. Cook. Impress. ________________________________________

Are Margeaux’s Gourmet Seasonings low in sodium?

Our seasonings are intentionally formulated to deliver bold, satisfying flavor without relying heavily on salt. Rather than allowing salt to overpower a recipe, Chef Margeaux focuses on carefully balancing herbs, spices, aromatics, and complementary flavors so you can taste the food—not just the seasoning. For exact sodium amounts and nutritional information, please refer to the Nutrition Facts panel on each individual product.

Are your seasonings gluten-free?

Are your seasonings made with natural ingredients?

Yes. Our blends are created using thoughtfully selected herbs, spices, and ingredients chosen for their flavor and quality. We believe great cooking begins with great ingredients, and we take the same approach to developing our seasonings that Chef Margeaux takes when developing a recipe.

Which seasoning should I start with?

That depends on what you love to cook! Margeaux’s All-Purpose Gourmet Seasoning is a great place to start when you want one versatile seasoning that can be used across a variety of everyday dishes. Mama Jo’s Chicken Seasoning is perfect for chicken, turkey, vegetables, potatoes, seafood, and comforting family-style meals. Cajun Fried Rice Seasoning brings bold, savory flavor to fried rice, seafood, chicken, vegetables, noodles, and other dishes that need a little extra personality. PaPaw’s Secret BBQ Rub is our signature choice for grilling, roasting, barbecue-inspired dishes, chicken, seafood, vegetables, and more. And if choosing just one sounds impossible, grab a bundle and experience more of the Margeaux’s Gourmet Seasonings collection.

Do I need to add other seasonings?

Start with a little, taste, and build your flavor from there. The amount you need will depend on what you're preparing, the quantity of food, and your personal taste. Our seasonings are designed to make experimenting easy, so don't be afraid to adjust until the flavor is exactly where you want it. Chef Margeaux Tip: Season in layers. Building flavor throughout the cooking process can create a more balanced and delicious final dish than adding everything at once.

Can I use the seasonings on foods other than what's pictured on the bottle?

Absolutely! The names give you a great starting point—not a limitation. Mama Jo's may say “Chicken,” and PaPaw's may say “BBQ,” but Chef Margeaux created the collection to encourage creativity in the kitchen. Try the blends on seafood, turkey, vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta, sauces, marinades, and your own favorite recipes. Don't just follow recipes. Reimagine them.

Do you have recipes showing me how to use the seasonings?

Yes! Chef Margeaux creates recipes specifically to show you how to get the most from your seasonings—from easy everyday meals to dishes worthy of entertaining family and friends. Visit our Recipes section for inspiration, and look for even more recipes, techniques, and Chef Margeaux favorites in Margeaux’s Southern Indulgence Cookbook.

How long will my seasonings stay fresh?
