Santa Maria is a leading Nordic brand specializing in spices, seasonings, and Tex-Mex food products. Originally founded in Sweden, the brand has grown from a small spice shop into a major international player in the culinary world, particularly dominant in the European market for ethnic food and flavorings.

Manufacturing takes place across several locations to support its global supply chain. The company operates major production facilities in Sweden and Estonia, which serve as the primary hubs for its spice blending and packaging. Additionally, some specialty products are sourced and produced in other European countries to maintain quality and efficiency.

Since 2001, Santa Maria has been part of the Paulig Group. Paulig is a Finnish family-owned food and beverage company known for its high-quality coffee, snacks, and international food concepts. This ownership has allowed Santa Maria to expand its reach while maintaining its heritage of spice expertise under a robust corporate umbrella based in Helsinki, Finland.
