As part of our celebration for International Women's Month, we’re excited to share a little love for some incredible women of color-owned specialty food retailers in our category.


From savory spices to mouthwatering sauces, these brands are dishing out flavor that we can all be proud to support. Here are some of our favorite retailers:

Founded by a pair of first-generation Afghan American sisters, this sauce brand offers cilantro chutney, mango chutney, hot chutney and lemon aioli, and their brand is newly carried at Target!

This small-batch rum brand celebrates the founder, Alexandra Dorda’s, filipina heritage.
