Santa Maria is a iconic brand within the Nordic culinary landscape, specializing in spices, herbs, and seasonings. The brand traces its roots back to 1911 in Gothenburg, Sweden, where it originally operated as a small tea and spice shop. Over decades, it evolved into a major player in the Northern European market, particularly known for popularizing Mexican-themed food (Taco kits) and a wide variety of high-quality spices.

Today, Santa Maria is part of Paulig, a family-owned Finnish food and beverage company. While the brand remains Swedish in spirit and origin, production is conducted at modern facilities throughout Europe. Specifically, for many of the dry spice products found in Denmark and Scandinavia, manufacturing takes place in Saue, Estonia, at one of Paulig's most efficient production sites. The brand continues to lead the market by focusing on sustainable sourcing and innovative packaging designs.
