Their Story
Ground Culinary Centre began its journey in 2003, founded by two gourmet food enthusiasts in Lyttelton, New Zealand. The initial motivation was a shared frustration over the scarcity of exotic food ingredients required for many recipes in New Zealand. The feedback from early homemade blends was…
What They Make
- Hand-ground spice blends (authentic mixes inspired by the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific)
- Spice pastes and condiments (e.g., Toum)
- Nut dips (e.g., Dukkah, and other varieties)
- Preserves and pickles
- Whole spices (available in small quantities for freshness)
