Crafting Quality with Precision Our state-of-the-art facility, equipped with cutting-edge machinery, has an impressive annual production capacity of over 15,000 metric tons. Quality is our guiding star, evident in our finished products that consistently achieve purity rates exceeding 99.98%. We adhere to the stringent standards set by USFDA/ASTA, ensuring that our spices and herbs meet the highest quality and safety regulations. To preserve the exceptional quality of our products, we have established our own dehydration and drying facilities. Employing both natural and mechanical methods, we carefully safeguard the flavor, aroma, and beneficial properties of our herbs and spices. This meticulous approach is overseen by our team of highly qualified agricultural engineers, ensuring that only the finest raw materials are used in our production lines..FOOD SAFETY
EU standard, uses a combination of the most cutting-edge technologies, to ensure complete food safety, both by destroying all pathogens, and at the same time avoiding all forms of hazardous pesticides, fungicides, and radiation. This protects your business, your customers, and ultimately your bottom line, while allowing you to provide customers food products that meet even the most demanding expectations.
All of our methods are completely compatible with the full USDA Organic standard, while managing to meet - or surpass - strict FDA-regulated safety standards.
Our key technologies include: Steam Treated Spice and Heat Treated.
STEAM TREATMENT
DRY HEAT METHOD
Utilizing a machine called an autoclave, all bacteria, viruses and fungal spores are effectively destroyed by a combination of air pressure and superheated water. This strategy is so effective, that it is used by hospitals to turn highly pathogenic waste material, into a harmless by-product that can be disposed of safely in landfill. Steam sterilization does this while actually avoiding the higher temperatures needed by dry methods, to protect more sensitive ingredients. In fact, ingredients that are steam sterilized for a mere 3 minutes, at 275 °F can achieve the same degree of sterility as hot, dry air methods used for two hours at 320 °F. For suitable ingredients, steam treatment represents the cutting edge in organic compatible sterilization techniques, while not requiring the use of any hazardous materials unpopular with consumers (like synthetic chemicals or radiation.
Unfortunately, there are some ingredients (such as powders) where the use of steam treatment is not practical. Normally this would mean the use of a much longer, hotter method of dry heat.Q SPICE S.A.E, takes advantage of a more advanced rapid dry method that uses a raised temperature, combined with forced ventilation to be able to get all of the benefits of dry heat, with a faster turn around time.
MANGET FILTERS
METAL DELECTOR (SAFELINE)
Super strong 13,000 gauss rotary cleanflow magnet at Cibus Tec In response to several customer requests, we have developed a new 13.000 gauss rotating cleanflow magnet. The very strong magnet separator filters magnetic and paramagnetic particles from less flowing -fatty- powders in the herbs and spices processing . The magnet rotor is composed of 7 strong magnetic bars, equipped with Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets, each with a diameter of 32 mm, some 40% thicker than regular magnetic bars. from Goudsmit is the only company in the market to manfucter these robust bars in its magnetic separators; this has already proved a huge success with the static version of the cleanflow - the easy clean magnet. The magnetic separator is strong for free-fall pipes and captures iron as well as AISI 304 and AISI 316 particles as small as 30 µm from, for example, Basil or Parsley cumin. An additional advantage is the higher capacity powder that the new type of cleanflow magnet can process compared to the 8- or 12-rod magnetic separator. The magnetic extractor is designed to be interchangeable one-to-one with existing rotary cleanflow systems..
To ensure the purity of our products and protect them from mineral contaminants, we have installed a Safeline Metal Detector system from Safe Line Company on our production line. This includes Safeline Metal Detector placed both before the crushing stage and at the end of the production line, right before final packaging. These filters are specifically designed to remove foreign metal impurities—both ferrous and non-ferrous particles—within a range of 0.2 to 1.0 mm in size. This investment in filtration technology is part of our commitment to delivering the highest quality herbs and spices, free from metallic contamination, to our customers..
FREEZE DRIED FRUIT
FREEZE - DRYING PROCESS
ADVANTAGES OF FREEZE-DRIED
Freeze-drying is a preservation method where frozen raw materials are placed in a refrigerated vacuum system and dehydrated without thawing. In this process, the ice within the product sublimates directly into water vapor, bypassing the liquid phase. This technique maintains the cell structure of the product, resulting in a final product that retains the original color, shape, flavor, and nutritional value more effectively than other drying methods.

Our farm spans over 850 hectares, growing more than 10 varieties, including Wega, Moss Curled, Dark Green, Katinka Double Curled Leaf, and Curly Darki. These specific types are highly suitable for the drying industry, meeting the increasing demand for quality dried parsley.A Historical Leader in Chamomile Production
Egypt, one of the oldest countries in the world to produce chamomile, has a rich history with this valuable herb. The ancient Egyptians, including the Pharaohs, were pioneers in cultivating and using chamomile in alternative medicine. Today, Egypt remains one of the largest producers of dried chamomile globally. With over 1,200 hectares dedicated to chamomile farming, the country continues to supply high-quality chamomile to the world, with Germany being one of the largest buyers of Egyptian dried chamomile. ?A Pioneer in Oregano Cultivation
With the growing global demand for oregano, Egypt has become a leader in its cultivation. After years of expertise and experimentation, we now grow the best and most sought-after varieties of oregano, including *Origanum vulgare* (Greek oregano) and *Origanum onites* (Turkish oregano).
