Randomly got this as a gift in a basket from a friend. Oh my goodness. I loved using it on almost everything in my kitchen!! Already restocking & can’t wait to try more of the products.
I was looking for something new to spice up my grilling efforts. Cleve’s is very unique and we like it best on chicken, but it’s great on pork too.
Cleve’s Gulf Coast exceeded my expectations. I’ve used it on salmon, potatoes, and veggies and it did all of the heavy lifting for me. There’s no use for combining my own mix now.
Wow! Goes good on everything! Only thing I will buy going forward.
Bought the Burger Booster and let me tell you it definitely boosted my burger game to a whole new level! Great flavor, just the right amount of kick.
I’m pretty lazy when it comes to meal prepping for the week and this makes it super easy to get a ton of flavor! This will be a staple for all my lunches.
How Cleve's stacks up.
Salt, sugar and pepper are the cheapest ingredients in the spice cabinet. Cleve's uses less of all three and builds flavor from 19+ ingredients instead.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Cleve's cost more than a grocery-store blend?
Most grocery-store blends lean on salt and a few spices. Every bottle of Cleve's packs 19+ ingredients, made in small batches in Texas, and it's low sodium. You get more flavor out of every shake without piling on salt.
Does this seasoning make food taste like it was smoked?
Yes. Cowboy Charcoal delivers the signature depth and aroma of a charcoal grill or smoker, even if you are cooking indoors. It is ideal for cooks who want that smoky flavor without tending a fire.
Is it spicy?
It has a warm heat that supports the smoky flavor without overwhelming your food, a pleasant kick that enhances the seasoning rather than taking it over.
Are there any synthetic ingredients?
Cleve's Gourmet Seasoning Blends have no artificial flavors or preservatives, just a thoughtful blend of herbs, spices, and aromatics carefully chosen for quality and freshness. It's seasoning crafted with respect for tradition, health, and taste.
