Our Story

Horthoos brings the authentic flavours of Kerala's Spice Coast to the world. We source carefully selected spices from trusted farmers and process them with strict quality standards to deliver purity, freshness, and consistency in every pack.

✦

That same discipline runs through our masala line. Every blend is our own recipe, roasted and ground in our own facility from organically grown spices - never bought in from a third party and relabelled, so one contract with Horthoos means one standard on every pouch.

Why Horthoos

Built on four
non-negotiables

Every consignment leaving our Perinthalmanna facility clears the same four gates. No exceptions, no seasonal shortcuts, no quiet substitutions when the market gets tight.

NATURALLY GROWN

Sourced from smallholder plots across Idukki and Wayanad. No irradiation, no synthetic colour, no fillers.

01

PREMIUM QUALITY

Moisture, volatile oil, ASTA colour and pesticide residue verified per lot with retained samples.

02

ETHICALLY SOURCED

Direct farm-gate contracts, transparent pricing and traceability from plot to pouch.

03

MADE FOR THE WORLD

Export documentation, labelling and packing formats aligned to EU, GCC, US and APAC norms.

04

The Range

SIGNATURE SPICE POWDERS

✦

Retail-ready pouches and bulk formats. Same lot, same lab report - whether you take a 1,000-pack trial or a full container.

Farm to Freight

SIX STEPS BETWEEN
THE plot AND YOUR port

  1. 01

    FARM SELECTION

    Plot-level contracts with 450+ growers across Idukki, Wayanad and Kannur. Soil and crop notes recorded before the season opens.

  2. 02

    HARVEST & CURING

    Hand-picked at optimum maturity, sun- or mechanically dried to target moisture before it ever reaches our gate.

  3. 03

    CLEANING & GRADING

    De-stoning, gravity separation, magnetic and optical sorting. Grades split before milling, never after.

  4. 04

    LAB TESTING

    Moisture, volatile oil, ASTA colour, aflatoxin, pesticide residue and micro panel. Retained sample per lot, held 24 months.

  5. 05

    MILLING & PACKING

    Cryogenic and cold milling to protect volatiles, then nitrogen-flushed pouches or food-grade bulk liners.

  6. 06

    DOCS & DISPATCH

    Phytosanitary, COA, COO, fumigation and insurance handled by our desk. FOB Cochin, or CIF to your port.

Quality Assurance

A PAPER TRAIL
FOR EVERY GRAM

Buyers do not audit promises, they audit documents. Every Horthoos consignment ships with a certificate of analysis tied to a retained sample, so a claim raised six months later can still be traced back to a specific lot and a specific farm cluster.

"Pure Origins. Premium Flavours."

Not a tagline we retro-fit - it is the acceptance criterion the QA desk signs against.

0

PARAMETERS TESTED

Physical, chemical and microbiological, on every production lot.

0

SAMPLE RETENTION

Sealed counter-samples archived against the shipped batch code.

0

ADDED COLOUR

No Sudan dyes, no lead chromate, no starch or bran extenders. Ever.

0

MIN. PURITY

Extraneous matter held below spec by optical sort and hand-check.

Buyer Notes

WHAT PARTNERS SAY

❝
The COA matched the sample on every one of the last nine containers. That consistency is the entire reason we consolidated our pepper line here.

SPICE IMPORTER

Rotterdam, Netherlands

❝
We ran a private-label trial of 5,000 pouches. Artwork approval to loaded container took 31 days, and the shelf photos needed no retouching.

RETAIL GROUP

Dubai, UAE

❝
They mill the masalas themselves, so the fish curry blend tastes the same in June as it did in January. Nobody in the middle changing the recipe.

Before You Ask

EXPORT FAQ

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITY?

＋

500 kg per SKU for bulk, or 3,000 pouches per SKU for retail packs - the same for single spices and masala blends. Mixed-SKU containers are fine, we consolidate.

CAN WE GET SAMPLES BEFORE ORDERING?

＋

Yes. Samples up to 250 g per item ship free by courier; you cover freight. For a custom masala we send a first trial blend in 7-10 days, then adjust against your notes.

WHAT PAYMENT TERMS DO YOU ACCEPT?

＋

Irrevocable LC at sight, or 30% advance with balance against scanned Bill of Lading. Repeat buyers can move to open terms after the third shipment.

HOW LONG DOES PRODUCTION TAKE?

＋

12-18 days from confirmed PO to gate-out, subject to crop availability. Add 5-7 days for a first-time custom blend that needs sign-off. Both exclude ocean transit.

DO YOU SUPPORT THIRD-PARTY INSPECTION?

＋

Always. SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or your own QC team are welcome at our facility for pre-shipment inspection and container loading supervision.
