Custom spice blends are a very practical, useful and delicious memory of you day.  Attach a recipe card that can be signed by the b&g for a more personal touch. 

Sagra Catering offers personal spice blends or choose from their most popular creations.  They will personal with a label, ribbon, card etc.  Prices for blends with label start at $7 for a 3 ounce jar.  Sagra’s most popular blends are their Napa Valley Spice and Tuscan Salt.
