Who was Jean Lafitte?
In the early 19th Century, New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico were under the control of the flagless buccaneer, Jean Lafitte. Known both as "The Gentleman Pirate" and "The Terror of the Gulf," Lafitte's armada and privateers ruled the local seas, plundering Spanish ships for spices and contraband, controlling all imports into New Orleans, and keeping a watchful eye over the Crescent City from Lafitte's base on Grand Terre Island in the Baratarian Swamp. Today, the name and legend of Jean Lafitte lives on in New Orleans, a legend that is captured in this bold and flavorful seasoning!

What makes our seasoning the best?
Did you know that most cajun seasoning brands use salt as the main ingredient, sometimes up to as much as 70%. This is because salt is the cheapest ingredient. We believe that seasoning should make the dish better, not saltier. Jean Lafitte's Cajun Seasoning prides itself on using more garlic and less salt, giving food a flavorful kick that's not overpowering. Our Seasoning's unique blend of spices brings out the best in any food, from eggs and vegetables to steaks and poultry.
