“Stop what you’re doing folks! Got to tell you about these spice drops from @holylamanaturals. They make dried ground spices seem so fusty and dusty by comparison. Am bowled over! ”

“I love the orange spice drops and they are amazing when you want flavour without orange rinds affecting texture (e.g. for creme pate!)”

“A wonderfully versatile idea for chefs and cooks everywhere. Authentic and pure flavours from just a few drops.”
Antony Worrall Thompson
Chef
“Spice Drops are a super innovation. I love that ‘just picked’ taste and the way you can mix and blend without any of the traditional prep involved such as grinding or scraping. It gives me more time to play around with spice flavours. There will always be a place in my kitchen for fresh spices – but there’s also space for these drops, too.”

HOW our natural extracts are MADE?

WORKING WITH LOCAL FARMERS

Most of the spices and herbs are obtained from local farms in India. These farms are monitored by the Spices Board of India, ensuring they adhere to quality regulations. The field officers pay regular visits to our farmers, guiding them on best practice.

GETTING TECHNICAL

The spices are first cold-pressed using rollers – crushing them in a non-heat generating manner ensures that the vibrant flavours are preserved. The crushed spices are then passed through an extraction vessel where the ethyl acetate (the solvent) is percolated in order to obtain the maximum volume of spice extract. The extracts are passed through a de-solventiser, where the solvent is removed using vacuum suction so as not to adversely affect the flavours. All that remains at this stage is the highly-concentrated oleoresin (oil + resin). Based on years of in-house research, we have developed the optimum concentration of our extracts. Accordingly, the oleoresin is mixed with emulsifier polysorbate 80 (plant based) to yield the final product in the desired ratio suitable for culinary use.
