Iben Büchert

Touching on the inspiration for founding Mill & Mortar, Iben says: “I have 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 had to step 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 warehouse, production and office facilities.

Concept and philosophy

Mill & Mortar’s goal, in all its simplicity, is to tell many amazing stories about spices and provide the inspiration and ingredients to spice up your food. They select most of their spices according to a principle they call “Proven Product,” which means they look for quality: The quality of the spice is paramount—they want customers to be inspired to use raw, organic products that enrich their lifestyle while looking good on the kitchen shelf.

1. Spices that look, smell, and taste like when they were picked.
2. Originated Spices. Mill&Mortar knows when and how spices are grown and harvested. They want to ensure that the process is sustainable; that the soil's resources are not depleted and that people, animals or other ecosystems remain unharmed.
3. Unique products that can tell a story about people working hard to create something unique.

HOW THEY WORK QUALITY

Mill & Mortar distributes the highest quality spices from around the world.

Suppliers – They know them and demand the highest quality standards! They work hard to build strong and reliable relationships with all suppliers because they rely on the fact that they will always deliver the best quality. Conversely, this means that the individual supplier must be satisfied with the terms of trade and cooperation that Mill&Mortar offers. Their suppliers are qualified and passionate spice producers who usually value quality just like them. Their agriculture is characterized by proud centuries-old traditions in spice cultivation. Of course, they also have high demands on their partners in terms of quality, processing, packaging and delivery of products and encourage spice producers to cultivate and develop new varieties.

Качество – подправките се берат, подбират и опаковат ръчно.

There is ample difference between hand-crafted work and machine labor. Our farmers 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, we carry out thorough quality control of each product before it is put into stock in our factory in Denmark. To this effect, we have skilled packaging personnel who prepare our spice blends, weigh and pack spices by hand, etc. This kind of controlled system is inherent in our 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 the 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 offer 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 (our spice blends do not contain salt as we consider it an unethical practice).

Създадени с мисъл за удобство и устойчивост

Mill&Mortar recyclable metal boxes prevent light from damaging the spices while the small plastic bag more than doubles the durability of the spices. Using this packaging method, the oils and aromas of the spices are preserved fresh from the field to the kitchen. While Mill&Mortar want to reduce plastic waste and protect the environment, this was a necessary choice for us to provide long-lasting spices of the highest quality and to ensure minimum waste. Mill&Mortar constantly strives to minimize their waste.
