Santa Maria spices and Mexican food products

Santa Maria is a leading European brand specializing in spices, seasonings, and international food concepts, particularly Mexican cuisine. The brand's journey began in 1911 as a small tea and spice shop in Gothenburg, Sweden, founded by Nordfalks. Over the decades, it evolved from a local merchant into a dominant Scandinavian powerhouse in the spice industry, officially adopting the Santa Maria name in 2001.

Today, the brand operates as a key part of the Paulig Group’s portfolio. While its roots are firmly planted in Sweden, manufacturing is spread across multiple locations to serve the international market. Key production facilities are located in Mölndal and Landskrona, Sweden, as well as Saue, Estonia, which serves as a major hub for spice production and distribution. The brand is synonymous with high-quality global flavors, ranging from Tex-Mex kits to traditional Nordic seasonings.
