Introduction

 Welcome to the Certificate of Essence—a unique and innovative approach to capturing the true essence of a persona through the art of spice blending. At the heart of this process lies our proprietary Personaware™ technology, which enables us to represent one's persona in a digital form, with color as the mediator. This document serves as proof that your blend is not just unique but is uniquely you.

Description

  • Woodfired Garlic captures the bold, rustic comfort of smoke curling through a Southern backyard. Inspired by the essence of hearth-cooked meals and the love of slow-crafted flavor, this blend conjures golden evenings, porch laughter, and the grounding pull of soulful food.

Flavor Profile:

  • This blend is rustic, robust, and layered with warmth. It begins with the bold umami of roasted garlic and smoked paprika, then deepens with applewood sweetness, all tied together by savory onion and a pop of black pepper. The cherrywood smoked salt is the final brushstroke—a soft, fragrant smoke that lingers and ties every note together.

Essence Mapping for Food Pairings:

  • Roasted Garlic: Deeply savory and earthy—enhances everything from roasted meats to mashed potatoes. Symbolizes strength and warmth.
  • Smoked Applewood: Subtle, sweet smoke—perfect for ribs, beans, or corn. Embodies comfort and nostalgia.
  • Smoked Paprika: Sweet heat with depth—pairs with grilled chicken, deviled eggs, and smoky stews. Represents passion and fullness.
  • Onion: Rich foundation—brings balance to burgers, casseroles, and veggie dishes. Symbolizes home and tradition.
  • Black Pepper: Bright bite—awakens eggs, sauces, and grilled fare. Adds a dash of boldness and clarity.
  • Cherrywood Smoked Salt: Aromatic and rich—rounds out the blend for ribs, vegetables, and beans. A touch of Southern finesse and cohesion.
