⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy with confidence

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Quality – From a Qualified Chef

As a qualified chef, I've worked with countless herbs, spices, and seasoning blends throughout my career, so I know quality when I taste it. I can honestly say that Seasoned Pioneer produces some of the finest spice blends I have ever used.

The quality of the ingredients is immediately apparent. Every blend is fresh, vibrant, aromatic, and expertly balanced, delivering depth of flavour that is difficult to find elsewhere. These aren't ordinary seasoning mixes; they're carefully crafted blends that consistently produce outstanding results.

Their Vindaloo Spice Blend is an absolute favourite of mine. It creates a superb beef curry packed with rich, authentic flavour and a perfectly judged level of heat. I like to cook it low and slow and reduce it down with a can of coconut milk, which produces a beautifully thick, luxurious sauce that is bursting with flavour. Served with a lovely basmati cumin rice (buy the whole cumin from Seasoned Pioneer they are delicious and just pop a dessert spoonful in and cook with the basmati rice)

The end result rivals dishes served in many restaurants.

What impresses me most is the consistency. Every product I've used has been blended to perfection, allowing home cooks and professionals alike to create exceptional dishes with confidence.

As someone who has spent years working with quality ingredients, I can wholeheartedly recommend Seasoned Pioneer. Their products have earned a permanent place in my kitchen, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to take their cooking to the next level.

Five stars without hesitation.

Everything just works.

Everything I have bought from here has been excellent. Fast delivery, and fresh, vibrant flavours. Very well worth the money, and someone I always think of when I need to create dinners and need inspiration.

I've been using Seasoned Pioneers for years. Found them when I subscribed to hello fresh and wanted to re create a recipe and they supplied the spice.

They are always super fresh and taste amazing. Not had one bad packet yet.

Ordered again!

Ordered again as Seasoned Pioneers herbs and spices are simply delicious and uplift any meal. So far the ones I have tried are superior in flavour and aroma to any other brand. The Fajita mix was a revelation, the Mixed Herbs,plus Rosemary were fragrant and gave layers of flavour to a lamb dish and my curries are giving my brother a run for his money. The exotic pepper mix and salts are used at nearly every meal now. If you don't try Seasoned Pioneers you are missing out.

Tasted stale and low quality.

The spices arrived late, poorly packaged, and tasted stale and low quality. For an online spice store charging premium prices, the quality and service were shockingly bad. I won’t order from them again and would strongly recommend buying elsewhere.

Sadly we have no record of you ordering from Seasoned Pioneers based on the information provided. As stated "the spices arrived late" therefore you should be able to share the tracking number which we are unable to locate. Please provide an order number and tracking number so we can investigate further. Otherwise we will presume this is a fake review. Many Thanks

Still awesome after a decade

We've been buying Seasoned Pioneers herbs and spices for years. Once you get over the initial "Wow! " , you realise that there's no going back to cheap spices. Just buy a simple pouch of Cumin and compare it with your usual. The aroma will speak for itself.

Best chillies ever too. Excellent variety to make Mexican dishes.

Premium quality herbs

Premium quality herbs, (it's true that less is more when the product is superior). Came in a timely fashion and well packaged too. Peace of mind for the gluten intolerant as well (I was glutened by dried herbs for the first time recently). I will continue to order with Seasoned Pioneers. Exceptional! Even my husband was impressed...

Blind sniff test comparison with supermarket spices

My daughter and I were excited to do a blind sniff test comparison after receiving our first order from Seasoned Pioneers. We compared cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg (whole) and Cumin (whole) with a supermarket (Waitrose) equivalent. We were blown away with the warmth, vibrancy and freshness given by all the Seasoned Pioneers spices. They won hands down. Speedy delivery and pared down packaging to boot. LOVE!

Best spices and global shipping

Best spices and global shipping. We have been buying from them for a few years now and it arrives even to MNE within 1-2 weeks! The spices are packaged really nicely and can be kept in packaging for a long time despite frequent use. I love how ethically they source their product as well. Just lovely!

The best spice blends you'll find!

The spice blends are absolutely the best I've found. I think I'd tried every other brand of ras el hanout out there and they all came up lacking. Seasoned Pioneers on the other hand, totally rocks! likewise the harissa, jerk and fajita blends. I'll get all my spices from them in future.

Organic Cinnamon

Seasoned Pioneers are an excellent company. First, this is the best cinnamon we've ever tasted. It's high quality, fragrant and delicious. Second, because they don't use excessive amounts of packaging, so that any waste is kept to minimum. And last because they dealt with an issue with one of the products we ordered quickly and professionally. First class!

Make easy cooking more interesting.

I love the variety you can get with this company. The blends make interesting cooking so simple. My kids love the Chinese Five Spice in stir fries, and I frequently use the Fish Curry Spice Mix, Goan Xacuti and Zanzibar Curry Powder in stews, curries and marinades.
