Condimentum

What Condimentum does

Condimentum is a privately-held UK food ingredients manufacturer, founded in 2016 (though some firmographic sources cite 2018) and headquartered at the Food Enterprise Park in Easton, Norwich. The company produces premium mustard and mint ingredients for B2B customers, operating a 25,000 sq ft vertically-integrated facility that processes over 6,000 tonnes of mustard seed and 2,000 tonnes of fresh mint annually. It is majority-owned by farmer cooperatives — the English Mustard Growers (formed 2009) and Norfolk Mint Growers (cultivating Brundall mint since 1973) — giving the company structural control over agricultural supply from seed breeding through to final ingredient delivery.

Condimentum operates three core product lines: dry-milled mustard (whole seeds, cracked seeds, flours, and brans in yellow, oriental, and dark husk varieties), prepared mustards (American, Dijon, Dijon Style, English, Wholegrain, and French), and mint products (fresh mint in vinegar, processed within two hours of harvest). Its flagship technical capability is the production of double superfine mustard flour — a milling process it executes as one of only three facilities worldwide, and the only one outside North America. The company also offers contract packing services for mustard and leaf-based condiments, and custom product development for food manufacturers seeking tailored flavour profiles, textures, and functional benefits.

The business model is B2B sales-led, distributing directly to food manufacturers, condiment producers, food service suppliers, and private label/retail brands across 30+ countries via a dedicated sales team (including EU Sales Manager Sven Manten based in the Netherlands) and a heavy trade show presence across Europe. Pricing is quote-based with flexible packaging formats ranging from 10kg buckets to 1,000kg IBCs. The company holds top-tier food safety and quality certifications including BRC AA+ Grade, HACCP, GMP, SEDEX (4.3/5 ESG score), Kosher, and Halal, positioning it as a premium alternative to traditional mustard origins such as Ukraine, Russia, and Canada that face geopolitical supply volatility.

• English Mustard Growers (EMG)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2009A cooperative of dedicated growers formed in 2009, many from families who have farmed mustard for generations dating back to the 1880s. Originally supplied the iconic Colman's mustard brand. Growers are majority owners of Condimentum, providing pre-agreed pricing, stability, and over 150 years of collective agricultural expertise. The cooperative cultivates both spring-sown and overwintered mustard varieties.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Döhler Group: Döhler is a major producer of natural ingredients, flavour systems, and ingredient blends for food and beverage manufacturers. Comparable as a B2B ingredient partner to condiment and sauce producers, though at much larger scale and breadth.
• Premier Foods: Premier Foods is a large UK food manufacturer with substantial presence in condiments and sauces. As a potential customer for Condimentum's ingredients rather than a competitor, it represents the largest UK-based demand pool for mustard and mint ingredients.
• Fuchs Group: Fuchs is a global seasonings, spices, and condiment ingredient supplier serving the food manufacturing and foodservice industries. Comparable in delivering tailored ingredient solutions to industrial buyers across categories that include mustard.
• Sensient Technologies: Sensient is a major global manufacturer of flavours, colours, and specialty food ingredients, including savoury and condiment ingredient systems for food manufacturers. Comparable to Condimentum as a B2B ingredient supplier but with a much wider portfolio and more geographies.
• Kerry Group: Kerry Group is a global taste and nutrition ingredients company supplying sauces, seasonings, and functional ingredients to food manufacturers. It overlaps with Condimentum in mustard and condiment ingredient supply but operates at much broader scale across many ingredient categories.
• Mizkan Group: Mizkan is a global condiments and sauces company (owner of Colman's mustard brand) producing mustard and vinegar products. Comparable as a vertically integrated condiment producer, though operating primarily as a consumer brand owner rather than a B2B ingredient supplier.
• McCormick & Company: McCormick is the world's largest spice, seasoning, and condiment ingredient company with a broad portfolio including mustard ingredients for food manufacturers. It competes with Condimentum in B2B flavour ingredient supply but at vastly greater scale and across many more categories.

Direct peers

• British Pepper & Spice: British Pepper & Spice is a UK-based B2B spice, seasoning, and ingredient blend supplier to food manufacturers and foodservice operators. Both are UK-headquartered B2B ingredient suppliers to industrial food producers with overlapping applications in sauces and condiments.
• G.S. Dunn Company: G.S. Dunn is one of the other two global producers of double superfine mustard flour (Canada-based), making it the closest direct competitor to Condimentum in mustard milling and ingredient supply to food manufacturers. Both serve B2B condiment and sauce producers with specialised mustard flours and derivatives.

Regional players

• Colman's (Mizkan / Unilever heritage): Colman's is the historic Norwich mustard brand whose former Norwich factory closure in 2016 led directly to the formation of Condimentum by the grower cooperatives. While Colman's is now a branded consumer product, it historically was Condimentum's growers' customer, making it a meaningful categorical benchmark rather than a current direct competitor in B2B ingredients.
