Seasonings are specific parts of selected plants that give unrivalled flavour to your cooking. Seasonings that come from the leaves of a plant such as thyme, rosemary or coriander are known as herbs. Seasonings that are made from other parts of a plant such as seeds, berries, roots or bark are known as spices. There are still other seasonings that have generic names all of their own: chillies and peppercorns for example.
From the finest sources we can unearth worldwide. Our commitment to authenticity means that we are very strict about where we source our seasonings from (see Sourcing & Provenance for more information).
We also stock a range of organic seasonings that are produced by traditional methods and are fully approved by the Soil Association.
