Santa Maria Lime Pepper 90g

Santa Maria Lime Pepper is a premium seasoning blend widely used in Northern Europe. The product visible in the image is a 90g glass grinder containing a mix of salt, black pepper, onion, green bell pepper, and lime flavoring. This specific seasoning is part of the extensive spice portfolio offered by the Santa Maria brand.

Santa Maria originated in Sweden in the early 20th century, starting as a small tea and spice shop in Gothenburg known as Nordfalks. Over decades, it grew to become the leading seasoning brand in the Nordic countries. The brand is known for its focus on ethnic cuisines, particularly Tex-Mex, and high-quality herbs and spices.

In 2001, Santa Maria was acquired by the Paulig Group. While the brand has Swedish roots, its primary production hub for spices is located in Saue, Estonia, which serves as one of the most modern spice factories in Europe. The Paulig Group, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, is a family-owned international food and beverage company that continues to manage and expand the Santa Maria brand globally into the mid-2020s.
