Herbs & spices — from Egypt to Europe

PORT SAID Herbs & Spices

A Dutch trading company specialised in producing, importing and exporting top-quality herbs, spices and dried vegetables — sourced from around the world, and above all from Egypt.

Named after the famous Egyptian harbour city of Port Said — a historic crossroads of Mediterranean and Suez-canal trade — we keep our sourcing roots in Egypt while serving clients across Europe from the Netherlands.
