Seasoned Pioneers, founded in 1999, are regarded as an innovative company that rapidly gained recognition for being the experts in authentic and specialist seasonings. Highly commended by many leading food writers and chefs, the company was set-up by Mark Steene, whose interest in seasonings was first sparked during worldwide travels:

- When I returned from travelling, I found that it was very difficult to buy the seasonings and blends I had used while I was abroad. Having the finest flavours from authentic spices really does make a difference to cooking, whether you want to create a certain dish or if you?re just experimenting. I wanted to share what I had learned, and hoped that by making these exciting authentic seasonings widely available that I would also offer inspiration to others.
