My name is Brian Kaner and I am the founder of K&CO. After years in the business and going to culinary school at the Culinary Institute of America in New York, I quickly learned that my passion was not behind a stainless steel wall and 110-degree temperatures. Instead, it came in the form of making people happy with my food directly. Where I could engage with them and see them. Family gatherings, friends, neighbors, and even when traveling! People were amazed at how much better my food tasted than the local restaurants. Soon enough everyone was asking for my recipes and as I visited their houses I quickly started to learn why. I bought higher end more expensive spices and blended them in a much more unique set of flavor profiles. The oils of my ingredients far surpassed the 6-year-old spices friends had in their shelves and even the ones in the stores. More importantly, I knew where to buy them, although much much more expensive. My spices did not sit in a warehouse for a year before getting to processing and then the store where they can continue to sit in terrible temperatures, humidity, and light. It quickly became my passion to educate the world and soon the passion turned into a want to provide for the world.
