Our History

Founded in California, U.S. in 1995, we use our expertise in dried ingredients, proprietary technology, and custom ingredient processing capabilities to develop distinctive flavors. Our unique products can be used in a wide range of dry and wet mix, prepared and processed food applications. 

In the fall of 2017, Culinary Farms was acquired by BCFoods. Expanding on the Culinary Farms line of authentic specialty food ingredients and flavors, BCFoods offers their line of industrial dried ingredients, including garlic, onion, bell pepper, tomato, carrot, black and white pepper, and many others.
