About World of Spice

We're a family-owned spice specialist with a heritage that reaches back over a century—and that depth of experience runs through everything we do.

Because bland was never an option.

World of Spice exists for one reason: to bring exceptional quality herbs, spices and seasonings to businesses that take flavour seriously.

A century of know-how behind a specialist name

Our story begins in 1921, when the "Unbar" name first supplied ingredients to the food industry—the start of a family expertise in sourcing, formulation and blending that has been passed down ever since. World of Spice was established in 1992 to bring that same hard-won knowledge, with a premium edge, to the retail and foodservice markets.

Today, World of Spice is proudly independent and family-owned—led by members of the family whose name has been part of this trade for over a hundred years. We're not a faceless supplier; we're a family that understands exactly what separates good spice from exceptional spice, and World of Spice is where that knowledge meets the modern kitchen and shelf.

From the world's best fields to your kitchen

We source across the globe, selecting only herbs and spices that meet our standard for character, aroma and potency. A blend is only ever as good as what goes into it, so we start with the best—then treat it with the respect a century of experience has taught us.

Quality you can trust, naturally

Quality isn't a marketing word for us—it's a system. We hold BRCGS Grade AA accreditation for Food Safety, underpinned by rigorous HACCP controls and full traceability through our supply chain. Every product is checked, verified and accounted for at every step, so when something carries the World of Spice name, you know exactly what you're getting: premium, natural, and consistent every single time.

Trusted across retail and foodservice

From independent retailers stocking their shelves to professional kitchens and manufacturers producing at scale, we supply businesses who care about flavour as much as we do. Two markets, one standard: the best.

Bespoke blends, built around you

Our bespoke blending service partners with chefs, manufacturers and food producers to craft seasonings made to order—your recipe, your flavour profile, your signature, perfected and protected. Whether you need a house blend no one else can replicate or a consistent staple delivered batch after batch, we build it around you.

Let's make something worth tasting

A century of family expertise, an owner who still cares about every blend, and an obsession with great flavour that hasn't dimmed in a hundred years. Whether you're after our finest single spices or a bespoke blend that's entirely your own, we'd love to help you make food that's anything but bland.
