Spices

Spices such as pepper, nutmeg, mace, allspice, clove and coriander were already extremely popular in ancient times. Special qualities were weighed in gold due to low availability.

When selecting spices and herbs, quality is crucial. Taste and purity are significantly influenced by the region of cultivation, time of harvest and further refinement.

LAY buys the most important spices and herbs directly in the origin and maintains long-standing relationships with the traders and growers in the origin. Decisive for the purchasing decision are reliability and the top quality of the raw materials.

Through on-site audits, we ensure that the processes are adhered to as described. Where possible, we purchase the raw material unground and clean and grind the raw material on our own equipment. This enables us to guarantee a high degree of purity and to exclude adulteration in the origin as far as possible.

Part of the range is available as organic certified quality.
