Santa Maria is a major European brand specializing in spices, Tex Mex, and Asian food concepts. The brand's journey began in the early 20th century as a small spice shop in Gothenburg, Sweden, then known as Nordfalks. Over decades, it transformed into a powerhouse of international flavors, eventually adopting the name Santa Maria in 2001 to reflect its focus on Latin American and global cuisines.
Today, Santa Maria products are manufactured across various European sites, with significant production facilities located in Mölndal, Sweden, and Saue, Estonia. The brand serves both the retail sector and professional food services across Scandinavia, the Baltics, and beyond.
Since 2010, the brand has been under the ownership of the Paulig Group. This family-owned international food and beverage company has helped Santa Maria maintain its position as one of the most recognizable names in the seasoning and Tex Mex aisles in Europe, focusing on sustainable sourcing and product innovation.
