Santa Maria Paprika Hot

Santa Maria is a leading brand in the Nordic region, specializing in spices, herbs, and international food concepts like Tex-Mex and Asian flavors. The brand was originally established in Sweden under the name Nordfalks but was rebranded to Santa Maria in 2001.

The product is manufactured primarily in Estonia, where the parent company, Paulig, operates one of the most modern spice factories in Europe. However, because spices like paprika are agricultural products, the raw materials are sourced globally from countries like Spain, Hungary, or China before being blended and packaged.

Since 2010, Santa Maria has been part of the Paulig Group, a Finnish family-owned international food and beverage company. Today, the brand serves as a hallmark of quality seasoning across Europe.
