Our story begins back in the "old country" at the beginning of the 20th century when a young man named Achille took the adventure of a lifetime, traveling to the United States to seek his fortune. He brought with him many culinary traditions and recipes from Italy. His savory dishes included a special ingredient, a homemade spice called "garlic salt." His grandson Richard continued making garlic salt, adjusting the recipe to his liking until he believed it was just right. Family and friends raved about the many foods prepared with the garlic salt and requested he make his special garlic salt for them. By popular demand, Richard decided to form a business with his son, Jeff. Cranberry Barn Kitchens, LLC was formed and trademarked, a website was established and production began.
