Frequently asked questions
-
Air, light, and moisture are detrimental to the quality of your spices. Therefore, store them in a tightly sealed jar or tin that is opaque (or in a dark kitchen cupboard or drawer). Also, do not store them above your stove, as cooking fumes can reach them there. Always ensure that you transfer spices from a repack into a well-sealed jar or tin as quickly as possible.
-
The shelf life of spices is primarily determined by the loss of flavour that occurs over time, as otherwise, they generally don't go bad. We use a shelf life of 2.5 - 3 years after harvest. This depends partly on the time of filling and whether they are whole spices that you grind yourself or pre-ground powder.
Spices in supermarkets are often already 2-3 years old before they are even filled and then get a shelf life of another 3-5 years. Always use your senses to determine if they are still good. At some point, there's just no flavour left, which is a shame for a good meal!
-
We do not have organic certification, even though our spices do meet these standards. All farmers work in harmony with nature and without pesticides, but the certification process is unfortunately very expensive. For small farmers, it is actually unaffordable. And we want to show them that it is worthwhile to grow spices sustainably. That there are people who are willing to pay for a quality natural product and that they do not first have to make a huge impossible investment in the form of certification.
Some of our farmers do have the certificate, by the way. Cooperatives, for example, can apply for the certification process together, making it a lot more affordable. But to be able to put this on the packaging, our entire chain would also have to be certified, including the Social Workshop where the spices are packaged. This is currently not possible because they also work for other non-organic producers. So, in short: no, we are not officially certified, but the quality and way of working are at least as good.
-
Single Origin means that a product comes from one specific place. Often, harvests from different places, sometimes even from different countries and different years, are mixed together. Traders do this to develop the cheapest possible product with a consistent taste. With us, you know exactly where your spices come from, right down to the farmer's name. This also means that the quality can sometimes vary, as it is a natural product. For example, one year might be drier than another, which can lead to a change in taste. But our farmers always strive for the highest possible taste experience, and you can taste it!
-
We always strive to purchase the latest harvest. Of course, it can sometimes happen that we still have some harvest in stock while the new harvest is already available. So we cannot always guarantee that you will get the very latest harvest, but we do aim to do so as much as possible. On the packaging, you will find a QR code leading to a page where you can find out exactly when your spices were harvested and when they were filled into the tins/bags. With this, we aim for full transparency in our process.

We ship to most European countries, but this will, of course, involve higher shipping costs. Would you like to order from a country not currently available? Please contact us so we can look into the options.

At the Siza Social Workplace, they do their utmost to pack the parcels the day after the order. If it's busy, it might take an extra day. They don't work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so if you order on a Thursday, for example, it will take a bit longer before your parcel is shipped.
Once the parcels are ready, they are picked up by the Groene Rijders and delivered by their bike couriers in the areas they serve, or outsourced to PostNL. Depending on how busy they are, they also aim to deliver within 1 working day.
