It all started one afternoon ten years ago when three friends, students at the University of Dortmund, set out to cook an Indian daal. To do so, they went to the supermarket to find the various spices they needed. However, upon arrival, they realized not only were they extremely expensive, but their presentation also did not invite them to buy. That same afternoon, they decided they needed to change the boring situation of spices.

To gain the inspiration they needed, that same year the three embarked on a trip around the world: from the United States to India, passing through Mexico and Italy. In total, five countries and over 42,000 kilometers. Thanks to that trip, today you can enjoy more than a hundred different seasonings, with over 200 distinct ingredients from more than 50 countries.

By opening each of its doors, you will enjoy the spices that turn a Spanish dish like meatballs into something fascinating. Or that enhance Italian pasta. Or that make you melt for some Mexican fajitas. Or that turn a Greek salad with tomatoes and mozzarella into something that seems cooked in a high-end restaurant. Traveling without leaving your kitchen is now, more than ever, at your fingertips.
