Santa Maria Tellicherry Black Pepper

Santa Maria is a prestigious brand with a history dating back to 1911 in Gothenburg, Sweden, where it began as a small spice shop known as Nordfalks. Over the decades, it evolved into Santa Maria AB, becoming the largest seasoning company in the Nordic market. The brand focuses on high-quality spices, Tex-Mex, and world food categories, sourcing ingredients globally to ensure premium flavor profiles, such as the Tellicherry pepper from Kerala, India.

Currently, Santa Maria is a key brand under the ultimate ownership of the Paulig Group, a Finnish family-owned food and beverage giant founded in 1876. While the brand has Swedish roots, its manufacturing operations are international. As of 2026, the company has increasingly consolidated spice production at its advanced factory in Saue, Estonia, to optimize efficiency, although some historical manufacturing presence remains in Sweden and other European facilities.
