With over 70 years of experience in ethical and sustainable sourcing of herbs and spices, Kalustyan leads the industry globally. What began as a specialty goods importing and merchandising company in New York City has grown to become one of the world's largest producers of herbs and spices. At Kalustyan, our high-quality standards, services, and values keep us on top. Kalustyan's Quality Center of Excellence is located in Union, NJ, and serves as the center of Kalustyan's resources and services. Using cryomilling, Kalustyan has revolutionized the way our spices look, taste, and feel. The cryomilling process grinds our products at subzero temperatures, retaining a high level of volatile oils and moisture, while standard milling would reduce these elements significantly. Kalustyan offers a number of sterilization methods and we allow our customers to decide which method they prefer. Our sterilization methods include EtO, PPO, steam, and irradiation. As part of our commitment to food safety and sterilization, Kalustyan regularly keeps up with upcoming technology developments. At Kalustyan, quality is our culture, which is why food safety is our top priority. By using our quality assurance laboratory, we ensure the prevention and reduction of microbiological and pathogen threats. Our company takes an active role in complying with government regulations around the world and is the first to act if those regulations are changed. Our employees are regularly educated and updated with industry news and information in order to prevent hazards and other safety concerns with our products.
