Golden West Specialty Foods is a California maker of all-natural, small-batch specialty foods. Unlike many distributors, we don’t just sell brands—we own them, we manufacture them, and we stand behind every recipe that leaves our kitchens. Our history reaches back to 1856 through the iconic Paladini Seafood brand, one of California’s earliest food producers. Today we carry that tradition forward across the brands we own and craft: Wok Mei, Lazy Kettle Liquid Smoke, Tophé Rice Bran Oil, Maison Louisianne Creole Mustards, Chateau, Paladini, and more. Across all of our brands, we focus on what has always mattered: clean ingredients, honest recipes, small-batch production, and flavors that feel homemade. Most of our products are gluten-free and all-natural, made with an attention to quality that reflects the food culture of the 1800s—when “all natural” was simply the way food was made. Our goal is simple: create exceptional, dependable foods for chefs, markets, and home cooks—at a price that delivers genuine value.
