Margão Ground Nutmeg

Margão is Portugal's leading brand in the herbs and spices market, deeply rooted in the country's culinary history. Founded originally in Lisbon, the brand became famous for sourcing high-quality spices from around the globe to suit the Mediterranean palate.

Today, Margão operates as a primary brand under the global seasoning giant McCormick & Company. While the brand maintains a strong local identity and manufacturing presence in Portugal—specifically through the McCormick Portugal facility in Alverca—the raw materials are sourced internationally, and some production lines may be distributed within the broader European McCormick network. The ownership by McCormick has allowed Margão to integrate advanced quality control and distribution networks while remaining the household name for spices in Portugal.
