belllogoThe logo was created from the antique logo of my great-great grandfather, William Gibson Bell, shown here at his desk in Boston in the early 1900’s.

In 1857, eighteen-year-old William began an entrepreneurial career by selling fireworks for the 4th of July in Lowell, Mass. Four years later, he founded The William G. Bell Company, renowned to this day for Bell’s Seasoning.

He created and marketed premium nutrition products, scouring the globe for precious ingredients like Jamaican ginger, Zanzibar clove, Batavian cinnamon, and Dalmatian sage.

His genius lay in savory combinations that enhanced the cuisines of the finest establishments of the day. His clients were Harvard College, The Grand Central Hotel in New York City, The Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta, the Lenox Hotel in Boston, the Hotel Titchfield in Jamaica, and the Algonquin in Maine.

At Bell Ventures, we are proud to continue the legacy of William G. Bell by applying imagination and energy to innovation in nutrition.grandpag
