Santa Maria is a well-established brand specializing in spices, herbs, and ethnic food concepts. Originally founded in Sweden, it has become a staple in Nordic kitchens and across Europe. The brand's journey began as a small tea and spice shop, eventually growing into a major international player in the food industry.

Today, Santa Maria is part of Paulig Group, a Finnish family-owned food and beverage company. While the brand remains deeply rooted in its Swedish heritage, its modern manufacturing operations are largely concentrated in Estonia, specifically at their state-of-the-art facility in Saue. This site produces the majority of the spice range found on supermarket shelves today.
