Origin & Organic

Our pursuit of flavours starts with the ingredients we use.

Today, we have more than 150 suppliers from 50+ countries. We apply a common sense approach, making sure that the relationship between the distance an ingredient has travelled and its impact is in balance. Continental Europe has many things to offer such as sugar, fruits and herbs, in addition working with freezing, drying and dehydrating ingredients to preserve our way through seasons. However, not everything can be cultivated regionally like guava fruits, cardamom pods or milky oolong tea. When we have exotic and extraordinary ingredients like these we are happy to buy them from every corner of the world, making sure that the impact they impart match the distance travelled.

Where ingredients are grown, how they are cultivated, harvested, processed and packed all play into the flavour and aroma of that ingredient. We do not have a religious attachment to organic production, so while a vast majority of our products are organic, we choose to make some that are not, due to the incredible origin or ingredient of the product. In some parts of the world, organic certification can be very economically unattainable for farmers, but so are the chemicals; certification proves they are not allowed to use.
