When was Chef Merito founded?
On January 17, 1985, Plinio Jorge Garcia Jr., his mother Maria, and his father Plinio Senior decided it was time to blend herbs and spices together to create some of the world’s finest spices and seasonings. They decided to call the company Chef Merito, which means “The little authentic chef.” Today, after 16 years of business, Chef Merito is a rapidly growing multi-million dollar company.
