In 2003, Sophie and Axel Steenberg co-founded Steenbergs, a sustainable spice company based in North Yorkshire. Frustrated by the lack of flavour and ethics in the UK spice market, Axel- a passionate home cook- decided to take matters into his own hands. A journey to India marked the beginning of Steenbergs, where he made his first direct contact with spice producers. From there, the business grew, built on long-standing relationships with ethical suppliers from countries all over the world.
Steenbergs is all about doing things properly. Every spice is hand-blended, weighed, and checked in the UK, ensuring quality and consistency. The company is proudly organic, vegan, and vegetarian-friendly, with an ethos rooted in creating a positive and minimal impact on the planet.
From 12 different curry blends to seasonal baking mixes like hot cross buns and pumpkin pie, Steenbergs’ range is designed for both adventurous cooks and everyday bakers. Axel has developed a variety of spice blends over time from customer feedback Whether you’re after a French classic, a Middle Eastern blend, or simply the perfect black pepper, there’s something to suit every palate.
With roughly 400 products packed and processed in small batches, Steenbergs caters to a wide range of tastes while maintaining an artisanal touch. Axel thrives on the complex and detailed nature of the blending process, believing that the right spice can completely transform a dish.
More than just a spice company, Steenbergs is a celebration of flavour, tradition, and sustainability- bringing a world of taste to UK kitchens.
