Santa Maria Bay Leaves

Santa Maria is a iconic Swedish spice brand that started as a small spice shop in Gothenburg in 1911. Originally known as Nordfalks, the brand grew into the largest seasoning company in the Nordic region, eventually rebranding as Santa Maria in 2001 to reflect its international appeal and focus on taste discovery.

The bay leaves within this packaging are sourced globally from regions where Laurus nobilis thrives naturally, though the primary processing and packaging often occur at Santa Maria's facilities in Mölndal, Sweden, or Estonia.

In 2011, the Finnish food group Paulig Group acquired Santa Maria. It remains a key part of Paulig's portfolio, representing their seasoning and world foods division. Paulig is a family-owned international food and beverage company headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.
