Robertsons Herbs and Spices

Robertsons is a household name in South Africa, widely recognized for its iconic range of herbs, spices, and seasoning blends. The brand's journey began in 1924, when it was established by the Robertson family in Durban. Known as the 'Spice People,' the brand built its reputation by sourcing high-quality ingredients from around the globe to create blends tailored to the South African palate.

Over the decades, Robertsons evolved from a family-run business into a major industrial operation. Today, most of its products are manufactured within South Africa, primarily at specialized production facilities in Durban. This local manufacturing helps maintain the freshness and regional flavor profiles that have made it a staple in domestic kitchens.

Currently, the brand is under the ultimate ownership of Unilever, the British multinational consumer goods giant. Unilever acquired the brand via its South African operations, integrating it into its extensive global food portfolio. This ownership ensures that while the brand maintains its South African identity and local manufacturing roots, it benefits from Unilever's global supply chain and sustainability standards.
