Mill & Mortar was established on February 1, 2008. Behind Mill & Mortar stands Iben Büchert, who previously worked in the consulting industry, but has now adopted her hobby of interest in food as her means of living.
Iben has a long-standing experience as an entrepreneur at Quartz Strategy Consulting where she was one of the founders.
Iben Büchert
Touching on the inspiration for founding Mill & Mortar, Iben says:
"I've always been interested in both the creative and business aspects of food, and Mill & Mortar is a dream come true. When I started Mill & Mortar, I, of course, used the skills and experience I had from the consulting industry, but I also needed to get out of the world of suits and Powerpoint presentations and work with real products.”
Mill & Mortar is located in Vedbæk, Denmark – with a spice factory with storage, production and office facilities.
Currently, they have 12 employees who work diligently to deliver spices and almonds to wholesalers and distributors in over 22 countries.

Quality – the spices are hand harvested, hand-sorted and hand-packed
There is ample difference between hand-crafted work and machine labor. The farmers Mill & Mortar work with predominantly tend to their soil and produce according to ancient traditions, which means that the spices are hand-harvested and hand-sorted. While this is more time-consuming than machine-processed products, it is also, in fact, a quality assurance of the goods in the cultivation field. In addition, Mill & Mortar carry out thorough quality control of each product before it is put into stock in their factory in Denmark. To this effect, they have skilled packaging personnel who prepare the spice blends, weigh and pack spices by hand, etc. This kind of controlled system is inherent in their way of working.

Ecology – with flavor in focus
Mill & Mortar mainly have organic products in their range, some even wild organic, especially because they taste better in most cases. Spices that are not driven by artificial remedies are allowed to mature naturally before harvesting and develop a pure, raw aroma. In cases where you do not find organic products on their spice shelves, it is either because there is no organic variant or because the conventional spice is truly just a delicate product. An example of this is our smoked HOT pepper.

Mill & Mortar's spices – for both professionals and those who just enjoy good food
All 'foodies' appreciate high-quality spices and many like to mix their spice mixtures themselves. Mill & Mortar offers an extensive range of basic condiments with over 60 spices and salts – and there are new exciting variants added every year.
And while everyone loves to eat good food, not many can dedicate several hours to the kitchen. Food must be easy and quick to make, but also tasty and flavourful. And hence, they have a wealth of well-composed spice blends with a variety of different ingredients and recipes on ways to use – all you have to do is add salt as needed (Mill & Mortar's spice blends do not contain salt as they consider it an unethical practice).
