Terra Madre: organic, premium and fair trade spices

Shared values between Les Jardins de Gaïa and Terra Madre

We share the same commitment to the Earth and the people who work it. The two brands are therefore linked by a common direction and strong values. Favouring small producers and fair trade, encouraging organic and biodynamic farming, supporting local initiatives to improve working conditions and product quality, defending local employment and a French production are their common foundation.

Like Les Jardins de Gaïa products, all Terra Madre blends and creations are conceived, produced and packaged on our premises in Alsace, and also by employees of an ESAT (centres providing care through employment): 100% made in France! And just like Les Jardins de Gaïa, Terra Madre favours the work of small-scale producers and fair trade, so it's only natural that some of our spices are certified biodynamic (Demeter), and others are certified fair trade (WFTO).

Choice of terroirs and craftsmanship: the secrets of our incomparable quality spices

Our spices are processed in small batches to preserve their freshness and guarantee their traceability.

Thanks to the quality of their raw materials, Terra Madre spices offer an exceptional intensity of flavour: a small quantity is enough to awaken any dish. Terra Madre's philosophy is to be present throughout the production and creation process.

Examples of origins:

• Ceylon cinnamon (from Sri Lanka) - ground or in sticks
• Kampot peppercorns (from Cambodia) - PGI
• Tellicherry pepper (peppercorns) and Malabar pepper (powdered, peppercorns and crushed) (from India)
• Java pepper (from Indonesia)
• Madagascar pink berries (grade 1)
• Madagascar bourbon vanilla (pods and powdered)
• Timut berries (Nepal),
• Espelette pepper (PDO)
• Herbes de Provence (from Provence!)

We buy the highest quality grade, which we also use in our spice blends.
