About

Founded in 2013 by award-winning, executive chef Pete Taylor and top food blogger Heather Scholten, Spiceology had humble Farmers Market beginnings. Fast forward a couple of years and William Sonoma took notice of this interesting little spice company. Spiceology carry over 200 premium herbs, spices, chilis, salts, blends and modernists ingredients.

We love the fact that Fast Simon automatically created filters for us. Consumers are used to seeing auto-fills in search on Google, that behavior is very comfortable, and made it very easy for consumers to find what they want very quickly.

AI Visual Hyper-Tagging

Fast Simon automatically created filters so that consumers can navigate through the site, the way they are used to.

Since we switched to Fast Simon we've seen our sales increase.
