Santa Maria Curry / Karry Hot

Santa Maria is a leading Nordic brand specializing in spices and international food concepts. Its origins date back to a small spice shop in Gothenburg, Sweden, founded in the early 20th century. Over decades, it grew from a local wholesaler (Nordfalks) into the Santa Maria brand recognized across Europe today.

While the brand is Swedish in heritage, the majority of its spice production and packaging currently takes place at its large-scale facilities in Saue, Estonia, which serves as a central production hub for the Baltic and Nordic markets. The brand is a core part of the Paulig Group's portfolio, a family-owned Finnish food and beverage company. This ownership structure ensures a blend of Swedish culinary history, Finnish corporate management, and Estonian manufacturing precision.
