  
No conversation about the vibrant city of New Orleans would be complete without talking about the succulent seafood dishes and distinctive flavor of the local cuisine. At the heart of all this delicious discussion would surely be the name Zatarain's. That's because Zatarain's has been an important part of New Orleans-style cooking for over 100 years and a key ingredient in the city's rich cultural heritage.
The tradition for making such amazing food was started well before the turn of the century, in 1889, by a man named Emile A. Zatarain, Sr. Through his expertise in blending spices, the company established a reputation for making only the most authentic, New Orleans-style food.
Originally founded as the Pa-Poose Products Company on Valmont Street, the business operated under several other names, including E.A. Zatarain & Sons and Zatarain's Pure Food Products. In 1967 the name was formally changed to Zatarain's. Today, Zatarain's is the nation's leading maker of New Orleans-style, food products. Still privately owned, Zatarain's prides itself on great taste, high quality, and a near fanatical dedication to New Orleans cuisine.
