We believe in traditional values
Generations of Experience
Old World Specialties began in 1989 with an idea and a good wassail recipe. We carefully mixed every bag by hand. And in our first season, we sold more wassail than we would be able to hand produce in six months. Our leap into machine production brought many benefits.
Accolades of approval from loyal customers insisted our wassail improved in flavor and it set the stage for other unique and delicious products. Today, we have over 25 tantalizing gourmet products for you to choose from.

OUR CUSTOMERS SAY…
Dear Folks at Old World Specialties: I thought you might like to know about my experience with your soup mix. While cleaning out my pantry today, I found a package of Mexican Fiesta Soup Mix that was given to me for Christmas last year. I started to throw it out since it was almost a year old, but decided instead to fix it for supper…. after all, if it tasted old, there is plenty of food in the house… we could eat something else. I cooked and served it according to the package directions (no flour tortilla pieces in it, but restaurant style tortilla chips served with it). It was very good! When I finish using up some of the other bean soups and beans I found in the pantry today, I will order some from you… and try something else as well.
Thank you for the great supper!
Dear Old World Specialties: I just received my box. Upon opening it, I felt like a child on Christmas morning. Such a dazzling display of colorful packaging!! Yet nothing anyone said could have prepared me for the compliments I received from my guests on Christmas Eve — one of whom was a master gourmet Chef from New Orleans everyone has seen on TV.
