Santa Maria Spices and Seasoning

Santa Maria is a iconic brand synonymous with spices and Tex Mex cuisine in Northern Europe. The brand's history dates back to the early 20th century in Gothenburg, Sweden, starting as a small spice shop named Nordfalks. Over decades, it transformed into a market leader, eventually adopting the name Santa Maria in 2001 to reflect its focus on international flavors.

Today, the brand is owned by Paulig Group, a Finnish family-owned food and beverage company. While the brand has deep Swedish roots, its manufacturing is distributed across several highly specialized facilities. A significant portion of its production occurs in Mölndal, Sweden, particularly for dry spice blends, while other products like tortillas and sauces are produced in Estonia and the UK to supply the global market.
