Blue Spices Zanzibar

The finest spices, imported directly from Zanzibar

Since 2023, we and our partners have been importing high-quality spices directly from Zanzibar. We are distinguished by our transparent and traceable origin - all the way down to the individual spice garden - outstanding quality thanks to direct contact with local smallholder farmers and cooperatives, and exceptional freshness achieved by eliminating middlemen. Enjoy blends based on time-honored recipes from our local partners, as well as those developed and refined right here in Europe. Or use the pure spices in their finest form. Discover Zanzibar and Blue Spices, and savor the incomparable flavors of the spice island.

Partners

Mamas Of Zanzibar

In Zanzibar, we collaborate with several partners. Among them are the Mamas of Zanzibar, a group of Zanzibari women dedicated to introducing travelers to the island’s cultural and especially culinary heritage. We also work with Chako Zanzibar, a social enterprise dedicated to recycling waste that supplies us with upcycled spice jars. In addition, we collaborate with the Donge Spice Gardens and the New Hope salt cooperative.
