GurmEko

What GurmEko does

GurmEko s.r.o. is a privately held Czech specialty spice and food ingredient company founded in 1991, headquartered in Radonice near Prague. The company imports raw spice materials and manufactures finished seasoning products in-house, offering a catalog of more than 900 items that spans single-origin spices, seasoning blends (including Clean Line and Clean Label sub-brands), the PLANTMIX plant-based line, food preparations, bouillons and broths, marinades, salts, dried mushrooms, gelatin and agar, molecular gastronomy ingredients, and a BIO-certified household line. GurmEko serves four distinct customer segments: the HoReCa sector (hotels, restaurants, cafeterias, confectioneries), regional wholesalers, industrial food producers requiring custom formulations and packaging, and household consumers. Order capture is conducted through a dedicated e-commerce storefront (dobrekoreni.cz) operating on the MajorShop platform, supplemented by segment-specific email addresses, a toll-free customer line, and direct sales representatives who conduct in-person meetings for industrial accounts.

The business model is direct sales of physical food ingredients under standard per-unit pricing denominated in CZK including VAT, with a small 10 CZK packing fee and separately billed delivery costs. The company has no app, no public API, no disclosed proprietary technology platform, and no external investors. It is incorporated as a Czech s.r.o. (IČ 25133284) and operates with a lean team of 9 employees across all functions, including sales reps dedicated to HoReCa, wholesale, industrial, and household channels. The company also publishes an educational Spice Guide ('Průvodce světem koření') covering 77 spice varieties, which serves as both a content asset and a brand-building tool. No revenue figure, funding history, patents, awards, or ownership details are disclosed in the source material.
