The tastiest flavors, produced with green energy

We use as much sustainable energy as possible. How do we do this? For example, with our own wind turbine and a smart, innovative facade that generates solar energy. The tastiest flavors are driven by the wind and the sun.

"We want to create a company that is even better for the environment, society and the people around us"

- Michel Driessen, CEO

Fair food starts with a transparent chain

We are committed to a transparent herbs and spices chain from farmer to fork, based on fair trade and openness. Thanks to blockchain technology, we gain insight into the entire journey of our herbs and spices. What we want to achieve in our product chains: a decent income for everyone who works in our chains and no child labor and forced labor.
