Steenbergs Organic Fairtrade spices, herbs, seasonings and ingredients Axel and Sophie set up Steenbergs The Sustainable Spice Company in 2003, specialists in organic spices, baking flavours and tea (loose leaf). B-Corp. Family run.

Source, blend and pack in North Yorkshire and sell direct to you and to shops. Spice - season - savour sustainably with Steenbergs The Sustainable Spice Company - B Corp Certified

Steenbergs is all about great ingredients with great flavour and sourcing - the majority of which are organic. Set up in 2003 by husband and wife Axel and Sophie who are still at the heart of everything Steenbergs does. But as well as the quality and wide variety of spices and spice blends from around the world that you would expect from Steenbergs (who've been sourcing and blending in North Yorkshire since 2003) as a company we have the environment and ethics at the heart of everything we do. From plastic free bubble wrap and paper tape, to living roofs, solar panels and rainwater harvested toilets, and generally minimising our impact on the environment. To this end we have invested in a wood in South Wales. For more information on the woods and our what we are doing to preserve, protect and improve the environment please go to steenbergs.co.uk/blog. Steenbergs has been carbon neutral since 2020, zero waste to landfill since 2010. Everything we sell is suitable for plant-based and vegan diets and we love seeing what our customers create with our ingredients. Pioneers of Fairtrade spices in the UK, the Steenbergs range offers over 400 spices and spice blends, many of them organic, several of them Fairtrade. All blends are created and blended at the Steenbergs purpose built factory in rural North Yorkshire. Steenbergs also offers a wide range of loose leaf tea including a range of herbal and chai teas - the majority of which are organic. More recently Steenbergs has also become well known for its range of baking extracts particularly its organic Fairtrade vanilla extract and organic rose water. Steenbergs blends and packs all its products and its focus is on artisan quality with small batches. Steenbergs continues to be run by the founders - Sophie and Axel Steenberg, so no anonymous call centres or faceless organisation. The two of them are still very hands on working with their dedicated team to source, blend and pack the
best. It's not what we do but the way that we do it that's different. The website also offers a range of accessories for loose leaf teas, ethical organic foods and ecofriendly household products. Share the passion - Spice - Season - Savour - Sustainably with Steenbergs.

Just been looking through the blogs sorting out SEO and how things have transferred over to the new website. There was a blog that caught my eye from 2021 when the trees were even smaller than the smaller ones shown here (think there must have been a big growth spurt that year). Looking at the photo from earlier this year we can confirm that the trees are very happy and doing well and now dwarf Axel. I suspect even I (Sophie) was much bigger than the trees in 2021.

Sfoglia sottile e ruvida per racchiudere un ripieno stagionale e accorpare tutto il sugo di preferenza.
Let’s make cappellacci together. All is under way for tonight’s dinner and as always the pasta dish is rigorously made by hand. On tonight’s menu are these saffron cappellacci that have been filled with roasted quash from ricotta and
Warmth coming from freshly grated nutmeg and a slight hint of chilli using crushed chilli.
The pairing tonight will be burnt butter sauce, crispy sage and dukkah to carry through the flavours of the Mediterranean.

My diary is now open for December bookings, so if you have a special event coming up, just get in touch via the website or email to enquire.

We know what you are thinking that its just a pallet of boxes. But this pallet is one of 4 which was ordered in March from Sri Lanka and has just arrived. Shipment full of organic cinnamon quills and organic ground cinnamon as well as tea for making our organic Earl Grey loose leaf tea.

Just in time for Christmas...

Delay been caused by the price of fuel which in Sri Lanka has meant shorter working weeks and rationing.

We are delighted its arrived.
