Elevating Australian Culinary Excellence

By Joseph Steele

Australia is blessed with an innovative and rich culinary landscape. Inspired by many facets of the world, entrepreneurs take to the dynamic industry like swans to water. Fuelled by a passion for food and quality, a remarkable story unfolds through the endeavours of Australia’s own, Spice & Co.


For any fans of MasterChef, you would be familiar with Spice & Co. Featured on the production since 2012, the incomparable range of spices has been showcased in some incredible recipes and challenges.

Owned and operated by a dynamic husband-and-wife team, Stacey and Mike, this Australian brand has carved out a significant niche for itself by providing high-quality, pure spices devoid of unnecessary fillers or additives. The journey of Spice & Co is more than about spices; it’s a narrative steeped in the ideals of sustainability, health and the culinary arts.

Spice & Co’s strong foundation rests on the robust pillars of its founders’ relationship. A couple in both life and business. Their shared vision for a healthier, more flavourful world is palpable in every product they offer. A distinct reflection of their life’s work and passion.

Each jar of spice from their collection goes beyond being a tool for cooking, it instead becomes an invitation to explore the diverse palette of nature’s offerings in its purest form.

In a market teeming with countless options, Spice &Co’s dedication to purity and quality puts them in a category of their own. Each spice and herb is free from additives, bulking agents and artificial colours. This ethos ensures that cooks at home can experience flavours as nature intended.

As the world becomes more conscious of what we cook, how we cook and has an increasing desire for transparency, Spice & Co rises to the challenge.

Operating from Australia, Spice & Co is proud of its local roots, yet embraces global flavours. This duality, combined with their ethos, allows them to maintain a strong presence. Meticulously sourced spices from suppliers who align with their ethical and quality standards, ensuring that every pinch adds more than just taste to the dish.

Beyond the spices, their focus on minimal environmental impact extends right through to their packaging, speaking volumes about Stacey and Mike’s approach to sustainability. Recyclable and BPA-free containers are a testament to their promise of keeping both the planet and their spices in excellent condition.

With all this being so engrained in Spice & Co’s DNA, it comes as no surprise that their altruistic approach to business extends to the wider community. Working with incredible enterprises such as OzHarvest, Buy a Bale and Aussie Helper, Stacey and Mike’s vision benefits all that encounter them.

For home-cooks and professional Chefs alike, Spice & Co delivers more than just spices – they provide inspiration. The range encourages culinary experimentation, giving the greenest of cooks a confident boost in the kitchen.

Spice & Co represents the quintessence of Australian entrepreneurial spirit – local, family-owned, making a significant impact in the food industry through integrity and innovation. The heartwarming synergy of a husband-and-wife team, combined with their commitment to quality and sustainability makes Spice & Co a beacon for anyone looking to enrich their culinary practices.
