Santa Maria BBQ Sauce American Style Sweet & Fruity

Santa Maria is a leading Nordic brand primarily focused on spices, Tex-Mex, and barbecue products. The brand's history dates back to 1911 when it started as a small spice shop called Nordfalks in Gothenburg, Sweden. In 2001, the company was officially rebranded as Santa Maria to better reflect its international focus on world flavors.

Today, Santa Maria is a flagship brand of the Paulig Group, a Finnish family-owned food and beverage company that acquired full ownership in 2011. While the brand is deeply Swedish in its heritage, its manufacturing footprint is international. Production of sauces, salsas, and spice blends occurs across several European facilities, primarily in Mölndal and Landskrona, Sweden, as well as in Saue, Estonia. As part of a 2026 strategic shift, Paulig announced plans to consolidate more of its seasoning and sauce production into its specialized high-capacity facility in Estonia to ensure future growth and sustainability.
