About The Spice Factory

The story of Spice Factory began in 2007 in Blackburn, born from the shared vision of a husband-and-wife team who wanted to bring the vibrant flavours of their heritage to the UK. With roots in South Africa and India—two of the most renowned spice hubs of the world—they combined their culinary traditions to create something truly special.

From the very beginning, Spice Factory was a family-run business, built on passion and hard work. The couple started small, grinding and blending high-quality spices inspired by the recipes they had grown up with. Slowly, their vision grew. They began sourcing the spices from across the globe, ensuring that every product met the same standards of freshness and quality that had always been their hallmark.

But it wasn’t just the spices that made Spice Factory unique. Many of their recipes—particularly their marinades and sauces—came directly from their family in South Africa. Passed down through generations, these recipes were more than just cooking instructions; they were a living connection to their heritage. Handwritten recipe books, filled with notes and secrets from decades of family cooking, became the foundation of the business.

As their children grew up, they became part of this story too. Their daughter, who watched the business flourish from a young age, learned firsthand what it meant to carry on the family legacy. She grew up in the factory, seeing her parents’ dedication and commitment to quality. Over time, she developed the same passion for sharing the authentic flavours her family had nurtured for generations.

Today, under her leadership, Spice Factory remains a family-run business, proud of its roots and its reputation for quality. The business has expanded to supply not just fresh, ground spices but also marinades, sauces, and seasoning blends, all with a story behind them. Every product reflects the family’s unique heritage—a blend of South African and Indian traditions, shaped by recipes, memories, and the love for food that’s been passed down through the years.

From small kitchens to large businesses, Spice Factory continues to deliver authentic, flavourful spices across the UK. But at its heart, it’s still the same family business it’s always been, driven by a deep love for tradition, flavour, and sharing the magic of great food with others.
