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 doe

s. 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.

Seemed an appropriate place to finish Our Oaken bones by . About rethinking our relationship with temperate rainforests and farming. Also about the healing nature of these rainforests.

A good read and he's putting it into practice in Cornwall.

We've been checking on the woods. Most of the newish planting has been fine and have grown a lot this year. Surprisingly green although most of the streams are damp rather than running.

Why have we invested our time and money in the woods? To do what we can to preserve nature and counteract climate change. We do what we can.

A bit late yesterday was Yorkshire Day. Always good to shout out fellow Yorkshire people and companies.

Pinch, punch it’s Yorkshire Day!🤍

Pinch, punch – it’s the first of the month, but not just any first day, it’s Yorkshire Day! A day to show how proud we are of our region.

For us it’s always about food! And today we’ll celebrate the famous Yorkshire Curd Tart.

A teatime speciality steeped in history, curd tarts were once baked for Whitsuntide village feasts. Originally made with rich ‘beestings’ from newly calved cows, today they feature curd cheese blended with butter, currants, nutmeg and lemon zest, creating a delicately sweet, zesty and fragrant filling encased in a delicious all butter pastry.

It’s one of the many delicious pastry items you could bake Baking Masterclasses here at The Cook’s Place.

To ensure our tarts are the best, we get our spices from Steenbergs Organic Fairtrade spices, herbs, seasonings and ingredients – a sustainable spice company in North Yorkshire, and our curds and currants from Scoops - The Ingredients Shop right here in Malton. And it’s always Paleys of Malton for our lemons!

We’d like to wish a very happy Yorkshire Day to you all, and also to the wonderful regional producers who supply us here at The Cook’s Place – too many to mention!

Lemony flavours always seem full of sunshine and zest. Steenbergs organic lemon extract is another cold extracted on a sunflower oil base. Baking biscuits with it seems to add another dimension to the bake.

Part of the Steenbergs range of organic baking flavours, with no artificial flavours, no artificial colours, no sugar, no preservatives just pure flavour for your bake!
