Santa Maria Black Pepper Tellicherry

Santa Maria is one of Northern Europe's most prominent seasoning brands, specializing in spices, Mexican food, and Asian concepts. The Santa Maria brand traces its roots back to 1911 in Gothenburg, Sweden, when it began as a specialized spice shop. Over the decades, it evolved into a major Nordic powerhouse in the food industry.

Today, Santa Maria is part of Paulig, a family-owned international food and beverage company. While the corporate headquarters and major production facilities are located in Mölndal, Sweden, and Tallinn, Estonia, the raw ingredients like Tellicherry pepper are sourced globally, primarily from India, and then processed and packaged in their specialized production centers. This model allows Paulig to maintain a dominant position in the European spice market while ensuring high-quality standards through localized European production.
