Schwartz Spices and Seasonings

Schwartz is a leading name in the culinary world, renowned for its extensive range of high-quality dried herbs, spices, and seasoning mixes. The brand's history dates back to 1889 when it was founded by William Schwartz in Halifax, Canada. It eventually expanded into the United Kingdom in the 1950s, where it became a household staple and established its primary manufacturing presence, notably in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire.

Today, Schwartz is part of the global portfolio of McCormick & Company, the world's largest spice manufacturer. While the brand maintains its Canadian roots and British heritage, its operations are now supported by McCormick's sophisticated global supply chain. This ensures that the ingredients are sourced from their optimal native climates before being processed and packaged, primarily in the UK for the European market.

Under McCormick's ownership, Schwartz has continued to innovate, moving beyond simple herbs into complex recipe mixes and gourmet grinders. The brand remains the top-selling spice range in the UK, benefiting from McCormick's significant investments in sustainability and vertical integration within the agricultural sector.
