A recipe passed down

Miss Essie originated the recipe in Arkansas; she passed it to her son, Manuel Jones. Today, the brand's voice and leadership is her grandson, Marcus Jones.

We honor their legacy with the same honest ingredients and generous spirit. Every bottle is an invitation to pull up a chair.
