Q: What sets MrCOLOMBO apart from other spice brands?

We buy directly from the smallholder families of Sri Lanka, organised through local partner cooperatives. Packing takes place in the country of origin, Sri Lanka, not in Europe. Packing at origin keeps the value where the spices grow and makes for a shorter, transparent chain. At MrCOLOMBO there is no anonymous supply chain.

Q: Are the spices EU organic certified?

You can tell whether a spice is certified organic by the EU organic seal as well as the control body and agriculture statement on the label. The control body number may differ per product and stage of the supply chain. The respective product label and the information on the product page are always decisive.
