Our regional spice range
Spices from regions known for quality.
Our range includes the following spices, sourced with attention to their regional character, flavour and suitability for your product. We confirm the growing origin, product form and quality specification for each proposed supply, supported by samples and relevant documentation.
Cloves
Whole clove buds or ground cloves. Define the required origin, appearance, aroma and moisture specification, with a representative sample for comparison.
Cardamom
Identify the cardamom type and product form, together with size, colour, aroma and packaging requirements so samples can be compared against the same brief.
Tamarind
Describe the required form, seed content, flavour and intended application so the proposed tamarind can be assessed against your requirements.
Turmeric
Dried turmeric fingers or ground turmeric. Specify the origin, colour, intended use and any required compositional analysis and sample criteria.
Other regional spices
Ask about ginger, cumin and other regional spices. Share the product name, preferred origin, form and quality requirements; supply options are confirmed per enquiry.
Botanical identity and plant part matter: ginger and turmeric are rhizomes; cloves are unopened flower buds. A trading name can leave important details unresolved.
