Purchasing Department
Our commitment to quality commences from the farmland. We get our raw material for processing from the farms (and apporoved suppliers), which are located in identified agro-climatic zones. The inherent color, pungency, and aroma of the spice is related to the soil conditions, rain pattern, relative humidity of the
location and above all the cultural practices the farmer employs.
The purchase team of AB Mauri spices takes utmost care in the selection and procurement of specific raw materials from specific locations so that it gets the required color, pungency and purity. Our team not only tours the various production and marketing centers to establish direct contacts with the farmers and the traders, but also ensures that quality raw material with optimum active ingredients is made available.

For us to ensure premium quality products we have to purchase top-quality raw materials. Raw spices are natural products that are planted and harvested by hand. We rely on our buyers many years of experience and extensive expert knowledge to filter out the best spice harvests available in the world.
Close cooperation with our partner suppliers, which we review and evaluate regularly, ensures the required quality. We work with different origins and with certified & preferred vendors.
After delivery, raw materials are approved, only if all defined inspection criteria and all hygienic requirements have been met. We conduct many different sensory, chemical, physical and microbiological tests in our own laboratory. Raw
materials are then stored in a controlled environment to retain all valuable properties as best as possible.
