A little company.
We believe preserving is a passion rooted in the love found in the homes we have both near & far.
Part Architect. Whole Jammer.
Founder Candice Ross is an architect who traveled extensively in Asia, Europe & Middle East. She found herself tirelessly wandering the spice markets & souks; exploring each culture through its oldest flavors. Quickly she learned that through flavor we say & share so much, it’s how we share home.
Her mission when starting BRINS was to marry the highest quality spices & favorite fruits to build the perfect "space," one balanced with the comfort of familiarity & excitement of a new experience. To her preserving is architecture at its core: the meeting of science, craft & emotion. BRINS is a cajun french word that means “little bit”; a nod to her Louisiana Cajun French home, heritage & a small way to share home.

In 2021 Candice passed the company over to friends & a fellow small company, farmers & decades old family business. The Zukovich family continues to make her jam, with a focus on quality, fresh ingredients and small scale; keeping her recipes unchanged. Preserving under a watchful eye on their family farm in the same small town they’ve been in since the 1950’s.
