About Us

 "Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English)"

-Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Inspired by the Lewis Carroll's iconic novel, we hope to encourage curiosity, adventure, and inclusivity. 

 Our goal at Curiouser Foods is to curate a selection of items that pique your curiosity and encourage you to explore different ingredients and cooking traditions.

  Jean Rarick opened Annona Gourmet in 2008, the first bulk Olive Oil and Vinegar shop in Minnesota.  She has built an incredible base of loyal customers and friends. We wish to honor Jean's hard work by continuing what she started and adding a few new things too! 

Having worked in the food industry while earning a degree in Cultural Anthropology, Trista became intrigued with the way food could communicate across cultures. This has led to a passion for exploring flavors and cooking traditions from around the world.   

 We offer a curated selection of interesting foods and food crafting ingredients & supplies for your adventures in eating.  We have an extensive variety of Spices, Herbs, Salts, Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars to choose from. You'll also find locally crafted and grown foods including Organic Heritage Flours, Pastas, Mushrooms, Extracts, Chocolates, Jams, Dry Soup Mixes and so much more.  We encourage you to get curious and explore our collection of unique, high-quality ingredients and tools sourced both locally and globally.
