Southern California CEO Victoria Ortega spent over two decades searching for her calling in the culinary field. A pastry chef by trade, Ortega has worked in restaurants since the ripe age of 14.\u00a0\u00a0She started out as a server, then into the kitchen as a dishwasher to a chef to a kitchen manager. She was always searching for the perfect way to combine her passion for food and having fun in the kitchen with her calling for service and helping people. Now with her new line of THC-infused cooking seasonings, she\u2019s able to do just that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ortega is a big fan of cannabis, but not particularly as a user herself. Rather, she loves cannabis for its medicinal purposes. In Ortega\u2019s circle of family and friends, people have used THC to assuage symptoms of pain, insomnia, depression and even cancer.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy heart is in it for medical benefits,\u201d the 35-year-old chef said. \u201cI truly believe this is a supplement that can make people\u2019s lives better and help cope with pain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Such was the inspiration for\u00a0Sabor A Chef V\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0Lemon Pepper, Cajun Spice and Garlic Salt seasonings, a trio of cannabis spices\u00a0designed to add extra flavor to everyday snacks and meals. \u00a0<\/p>\n Ortega trademarked the brand name Sabor A Chef V (Flavor by Chef V) in homage to her Mexican heritage. Before launching the cannabis seasoning brand, she spent months brainstorming ideas for the perfect cannabis edible<\/a>. She wanted it to be tasty, flavorful and suitable for everyday consumption, yet also healthy.<\/p>\n That ruled out gummies and other infused candies she called \u201ctoo sweet and sugary.\u201d It also ruled out butters and oils that she believes taste \u201ctoo altered\u201d\u2014with a grassy, skunky flavor\u2014because they contain too much THC. With Sabor A Chef V cannabis seasonings, there\u2019s no difference in flavor from non-infused seasonings. More importantly, the 5 milligram THC serving per teaspoon offers a \u201cbalanced, consistent high\u201d that allows users to enjoy the plant\u2019s medicinal benefits without wanting to take a nap.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is for people of all ages who desire the healing power of cannabis, but who also need to be present and continue on with their day,\u201d Ortega said. \u201cIt\u2019s about having fun in the kitchen and bringing cannabis to everyone\u2019s table.\u201d<\/p>\n The COVID-19 pandemic brought previously unthinkable new challenges to almost everyone around the globe. But the virus and stay-at-home orders that followed took an especially hard toll on Ortega and her family.<\/p>\n Ortega\u2019s grandmother died of COVID-19 and her mother died from a brain memorrhage\u2014all during a six-month span in 2020. Devastated by the loss of some of the closest women in her life, Ortega did what many people do: She lamented not being able to help them more. She then turned to thinking ahead about how to help others in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m huge when it comes to community service and volunteer work,\u201d Ortega said, adding that she volunteered to help the elderly at nursing homes. \u201cI have a passion for it. Watching my mom go through cancer, the chemo really made her sick. I fed her an edible for the first time and it actually helped her.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite how helpful cannabis was for her mom, the plant\u2019s stigma got in the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cShe grew up being taught that cannabis was bad, and there was negative stigma associated with it,\u201d Oretga says. \u201cSo cannabis wasn\u2019t really a long-term option.\u201d<\/p>\n Ortega admits a stigma surrounding the plant is still alive in mainstream American society. But it\u2019s getting smaller with each passing year. Convinced that her dream project was ready to come to life, she partnered with Los Angeles-based Loco Entertainment last year and began doing R&D on a way to offer healthy eating through THC-infused seasonings. Ortega\u2019s partners helped her connect the Chef A Sabor V brand with vendors in the nearby cities of Van Nuys, Palm Springs and Long Beach, as well as Ortega\u2019s hometown of Torrance, CA.<\/p>\n Sabor A Chef V\u2019s THC-infused Lemon Pepper seasoning launched earlier this year, while her Cajun Spice and Garlic Salt seasonings debuted this month. All three are available at a handful of Los Angeles-area dispensaries. Even better, Ortega says there\u2019s more to come. She\u2019s set to launch an ongoing series of cooking videos featuring her three seasonings, starting in July. By the end of 2022, Sabor A Chef V plans to release a vanilla bean powder, and THC-infused pizza seasoning called \u201cHigh Pies,\u201d and a powder called \u201cSpace Dust.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The post THC Seasonings Elevate Health and Flavor\u00a0<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
