Based in rural North Yorkshire, Steenbergs Organic was established in 2003 by Axel and Sophie Steenberg. Since the outset, we have been centred on sourcing and packing the best organic spices, herbs and teas that we can find. We are one of the leaders in Fairtrade spices. We also blend spices and herbs to our own recipes creating a range of organic seasonings.
Why choose Steenbergs?
Completely focused on organic and ethical trading – we source most of our spices direct from growers and grower groups, many of whom are in the developing world, eg India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Egypt, Vietnam, Indonesia, Turkey. We know down to the region and often the exact 1 hectare farm who grew the spices or herbs.
One of the original Fairtrade spices businesses – we worked (and continue to work) with Fairtrade to develop standards for spices, becoming one of the first Fairtrade spices businesses (the other 2 were Italian), launching the first Fairtrade spices range in Europe.
Determined to develop organic and Fairtrade into the quality standard for spices – since the outset, we have been continuously developing the technical side of our spices and herbs. We work with our producers to improve the quality of their raw materials, as well as having the widest range of low micro spices and herbs in the organic spices/herbs sector. Our new factory is to the highest food technical standard with food grade wall throughout the production and warehouse area and resin floors. At the same time, we brought in new metal detection, check sieving, blending and grinding capability. All staff are trained in food hygiene and safety using external trainers.
Carbon neutral – we are committed to minimising our impact on the environment, so are carbon neutral now. Steenbergs moved into new premises at the start of 2007 that include environmental features, such sun pipes, green energy, low water use toilets and real linoleum floors (in changing areas).
