The Westcountry Spice Company, which is an organic company, makes spice
blends with inspirational flavours from around the world.
All of which are organic, made in small batches with no additives or
artificial colours or preservatives. All of our range is gluten and
wheat free with the majority being Vegetarian as well.
Our aim is to bring you products of excellent quality. For this reason
· we make our products by hand, with care and in small quantities ·
we use local produce wherever possible · we use only the finest organic
ingredients. No Bulk! Because we do not bulk out with rubbish, no added
tomato or extra cheap onion and no flours, just high quality fresh spices.
The whole range is also available in catering packs of 1kg, this will
serve around 120-150 meals depending on how it is used. As well as the
pastes we also make the "Worlds first Organic Ketjap Manis" A rich dark
soy type sauce sweetened with molasses, and two other table sauces which,
are authentic Vietnamese style used for adding to meals or directly
dipping fruits or sea food into, "its delicious". Organic: The reasons
we are organic is because we wanted to set a high standard of practice
and production and keep to it.
Being part of the Soil Association isn't just about a rubber stamp.
It's a very strict code of practice. We are audited every year. As we
specialise in making organic produce, our traceability is second to
none. This means we know all of our growers and suppliers and they too
have to adhere to the same standards laid down by the soil association
for organic farming and production. Ensuring full trace ability throughout
our industry is paramount so things like the Sudan One scare, where
a highly toxic dye was used to enhance a foods appearance, just cant
happen in our industry.
Benefits: There are many health benefits is many
herbs and spices. Organic means some of the carcinogenic used in pesticides,
which can cause cancer are kept well away from our ingredients.
· Our spices are roasted and ground by us
· All products are Gluten and Wheat Free
· All products have reduced salt.
· No artificial colours
· No artificial flavouring
· No artificial preservatives
· Not bulked out so better value for money Ingredients:
It is important to us that we have a sustainable relationship with our
suppliers. We seek to purchase as many ingredients from the UK as possible
starting from the Westcountry and casting our net from further a field.
Fair Trade: We believe in fair trade in both our country and others.
This system has a recognised body associated with it. If a supplier
has an association with the fair trade organisation, for say our spices,
we will favour this supplier over another unless they can substantiate
a traded fairly arrangement. Going Green: All our packaging is recyclable
and or from recycled or sustainable sources. Packaging that comes to
us will be re-used and or re-cycled. If produce has to come from overseas
then it travels by sea. This is only a small part in helping the environment
but we feel that every little helps.
