This creole style blend is offered as a tribute to Madame Langlois who was cook and housekeeper to the Colonial Governor of French Louisiana, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville. Today, she is heralded as the originator of Creole cuisine.

Following the so-called "Petticoat Insurrection" in 1718, Governor Bienville requested that Madame Langlois teach the women how to utilize local ingredients and prepare meats and vegetables as the Indians had introduced to the colonists. These are considered to be the first cooking classes of record in North America.

This blend is reminiscent of Southwestern Louisiana and reflects the culinary style of antebellum country plantation estates of that area. This blend offers a sense of the rural creole tradition as opposed to what today is referred to as the urban creole tradition [read "urban" as New Orleans' tourist]. This is a wonderful addition to our line of seasonings, and we are excited to share this news with you!
