Verstegen Herbs and Spices

Verstegen Spices & Sauces is a family-owned business with a legacy dating back to 1886. Founded by Jan Verstegen in Rotterdam, the company began as a local merchant of spices and flourished into a leading European supplier known for high-quality standards and sustainable sourcing.

The brand is celebrated for its commitment to the 'spice route' transparency, working directly with local farmers across the globe to ensure fair wages and ecological preservation. Their products, ranging from individual dried herbs to complex liquid sauces and marinades, are primarily processed and packaged in their state-of-the-art facilities in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Today, Verstegen remains a private, independent company owned by the Verstegen family. This independence has allowed them to focus on long-term sustainability goals, such as CO2-neutral operations and circular economy initiatives, ensuring they remain a major player in both the professional culinary sector and the retail consumer market.
