Discover where a brand or product originates
Santa Maria is a leading brand in the Nordic region, specializing in spices, seasonings, and Tex-Mex products. The brand originated in Sweden as a small tea and spice shop in Gothenburg called Nordfalks, eventually evolving into the Santa Maria brand during the late 20th century. Today, it is a staple in European kitchens, particularly for Mexican-inspired meals like tacos and fajitas.
The product is primarily manufactured in Sweden, with the company maintaining major production facilities in Mölndal. Over the decades, Santa Maria has expanded its reach across Europe and the Baltics, focusing on quality spice blends and ethnic food categories.
Since 2010, the brand has been under the ownership of the Finnish food industry group, Paulig. This acquisition integrated Santa Maria into a larger portfolio dedicated to coffee, food concepts, and spices. The Paulig Group remains the ultimate owner, ensuring the brand's presence in international markets while maintaining its Swedish culinary heritage.
