How it Started

From the Barracks to the Boil

Stella Mae’s was born from the grit of military life, the joy of home cooking, and the soul of a six-sibling kitchen. Founder Keith Jenkins grew up learning how to feed a crowd, stretch a dollar, and bring people together with food that means something.

After serving 24 years as a paratrooper in the Army, Keith returned to his roots—this time with a mission: to share bold, soulful flavor with the world. What began as one recipe has grown into the Stella Mae’s Legacy Blend Collection—a line of handcrafted seasonings that carry both heritage and heart in every jar.

Stella Mae’s isn’t just seasoning. It’s storytelling. It’s culture.
It’s that moment when someone’s eyes light up after their first bite.
Because flavor should hit like a memory—and leave you wanting more.

THIS AIN’T YOUR MAMA’S SEASONING SALT

The Stella Mae’s Legacy Blend Collection isn’t just seasoning—it’s a lineup of handcrafted blends made to wake up your taste buds and transform every meal. Built by chef and Army veteran Keith Jenkins, each flavor carries the grit of soul food tradition, the boldness of Alaskan flavor, and the kind of heat, depth, and heart that leaves you saying: “It’s like that.”
