Rooted in Farming, Growing for the Future
Discover how our farmer-led approach ensures sustainable practices, premium ingredients and a reliable supply chain, bringing together generations of expertise in mustard and mint cultivation.
British Mustard Farming - 150 Years of Expertise
Our farmers, known collectively as the English Mustard Growers (EMG), have cultivated mustard seeds for over 150 years. Originally supplying the iconic Colman’s mustard brand, EMG has since partnered with Condimentum to continue producing premium-quality mustard seeds. Today, these seeds are exported to more than 30 countries worldwide, to food manufacturers, condiment producers and food service suppliers.
Formed in 2009, EMG is a cooperative of dedicated growers, many of whose families have farmed mustard for generations. Some of our current growers' families have been involved since the 1880’s, extending over five generations.
As a British farming success story, EMG are always looking for new farmers to join the cooperative. With benefits such as pre-agreed pricing and access to expert support, becoming an EMG grower offers stability and a unique opportunity to be part of this heritage.

British Mint Farming - Field to Factory in an Hour
Since 1973, the Norfolk Mint Growers (NMG) have cultivated premium spearmint in the ideal growing conditions of Norfolk's rich soils and temperate climate. Today, their four dedicated growers partner with Condimentum to deliver the freshest mint for our processing facility.
Harvest begins in May and, depending on the fields, some crops yield up to three cuts per season, extending the harvest through to October. This ensures a continuous supply of mint leaves at their peak freshness, ready to be processed within two hours of harvest to lock in their vibrant colour, aroma and zingy flavour.
By combining generations of farming expertise with Condimentum’s advanced processing technology, we create mint products that meet the highest standards for flavour and consistency.
