Founded in 2012, Opa Helmut’s Pure Organic Seasonings encourages foodies to explore a modern world of healthy German cooking with gluten and MSG free, all natural traditional spice blends. Opa Helmut’s  Pure Organic Seasonings vision is to inspire cooks to create healthy, easy and quick to prepare meals. Opa Helmut’s  Pure Organic Seasonings is a family operated German spice blending business dating back to 1875.

Opa (Grandfather in German) Helmut’s  Pure Organic Seasonings-  has roots dating back to 1875 when Wilhelm von Cramm began to develop spice blends to complement meat sold in his butcher shop.  Over the decades, regional culinary influences from Provence, Poland and Russia found their way into the mixes and today Opa Helmut’s Pure Organic Seasonings have evolved into a blend of fresh herbs and spices that enhance and transform meats and sausages into delectable dishes.  Astrid Senior, Opa Helmut’s  Pure Organic Seasonings purveyor, rediscovered her great grandfather’s spice blends and has adapted the unique blends beyond meats and includes mixes for vegetables dishes and salad dressings. The spice mixes and recipes offer cooks a new direction to create beef, pork, fish and poultry dishes using traditional old world blends that are tailored to modern tastes. Opa Helmut’s  Pure Organic Seasonings available spice mixes conclude:  Sweet & Savory, Pork, Poultry & BBQ, Beef, Lamb & Burger, Californian Tri-Tip, Zesty Vegan and Fish & Vegetable seasonings and are organic, gluten free, MSG free and without any additives.
