Santa Maria spices and seasonings

Santa Maria is a leading European brand specialized in spices, barbecue, and Mexican food concepts. The brand's history began in 1911 as a small spice shop in Gothenburg, Sweden, known as Nordfalks. Over the decades, it evolved from a local merchant into a dominant international brand, rebranding to Santa Maria in 2001 to reflect its focus on world flavors.

Today, Santa Maria is a key pillar of the Paulig Group. While its heart remains in Sweden, the brand’s production is distributed across several European facilities, primarily in Sweden (Mölndal) and Estonia (Saue), to supply the Nordic and Baltic markets. Its product range has expanded significantly from traditional ground spices to include comprehensive meal kits, tortillas, and salsas, positioning it as a household name for international cuisine in Northern Europe.
