Spices for a culinary journey of pleasure
Spices have been traded across national borders since time immemorial. Depending on where they were found, they were used as a status symbol, as a basis for medicines and even as a means of payment. Today, Biova makes it much easier for you to find new and familiar spice varieties. Discover the variety of culinary delights in our range! Further information "
Spices as a valuable item and commodity
Travellers were paid princely sums when they brought home spices that were still unknown. There were even wars over trade routes and monopoly positions in the spice trade. Traders received precious stones or even gold in return for some of the rarities. How difficult the transport was and how rare the spices were played a major role in this.
Since the opening up of new sea routes at the latest, the spice markets have changed permanently. Many of the plants can now be grown locally instead of exotically. Technical innovations have also shortened transport routes. Nevertheless, some spices remain as valuable as ever.
Seasoning today - still a journey of flavourful discovery
Even today, spices are handled with care. In historical times, only a small proportion of the flavours could be preserved over long transport routes. Nowadays, these flavours have a much longer shelf life thanks to suitable packaging. New flavours are constantly being created from familiar and less familiar spices and herbs. An important criterion for a good spice is its quality. This must be monitored from the cultivation of the plant to its placement on the shop shelf. At Biova, we have a lot of experience with spices. That is why you will find both well-known, frequently occurring varieties and genuine rarities. Our imported goods come from all parts of the world.
Even the transport times between the growing region and the online shop are still very long in some cases. This makes constant monitoring of the imported quality all the more important.
Rarities in the spice wholesale trade
Cinnamon blossoms or acacia seeds, pepper leaves from Tasmania or smoked garlic are just a few of our rarities. We are constantly on a journey of discovery for you. Our aim is to constantly enrich the good cuisine with new spices and spice blends. In terms of packaging sizes, you can choose between handy small packs or large bundles for the catering trade. Please contact us if you cannot find a particular spice in our shop! As a direct importer, we can also procure unusual varieties for you.
