Ostmann Herbs

Ostmann is a prominent German brand specializing in herbs, spices, and seasoning mixes. Founded over 120 years ago, it has become a staple in European kitchens, particularly known for its iconic red-shaker packaging and a wide variety of freeze-dried and air-dried culinary herbs. The brand prides itself on gentle processing methods that preserve the natural aroma, color, and flavor of ingredients like basil, oregano, and chives.

The brand's journey began with Karl Ostmann in 1902 in Bielefeld, Germany. Since then, it has evolved from a local spice merchant into a leader in the German spice market. Today, Ostmann is a key brand within the Fuchs Group, the largest European spice producer. While most processing and packaging occur in Germany to maintain high quality standards, the raw materials are sourced globally from the best growing regions for each specific herb and spice.
