Born in Alabama and raised in the Carolinas, Raven's Nest | Gourmet + Gift is a second generation, woman-owned and operated family business rich in heritage and a loyal following. Raven's Nest was founded in 1980 by our matriarch, Raven, and for the past twelve years her legacy has been carried on by her oldest daughter, Monica. For 40 years we've been creating and sharing unique, handmade gifts and artisan jams + spices. Every item in our collection is rooted in Raven’s artistry, love of good food, creativity, and ability to innovate and adapt in both times of plenty and times of want.
Our "sweet with a little heat" jams are a modern twist on a time-honored, southern favorite. Thoughtfully sourced fruits are blended with a medley of peppers to create a perfect marriage of sweet and spicy. Known for their versatile uses, from cocktails, to cheese pairings, to marinades and glazes for grilling, our jams are simply too good for just biscuits!
Since 1990, our award-winning
Mulling Spices have been an integral part of holiday traditions in homes across the United States. A delicious and aromatic blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, orange and lemon, every sip tastes like a memory. Traditionally used for creating hot spiced cider or mulled wine, our spices can also be incorporated into baked goods and seasonal cocktails. Versatile and flavorful, Raven's Nest Mulling Spices are a staple of the modern, southern pantry.
Raven’s Nest products are made in small batches with clean ingredients, and are gluten and preservative free.
