In a market where food trends shift quickly and consumers expect perfection, flavor consistency isn’t just a value—it’s a necessity. That’s where Altius Spices and Seasonings makes its mark. Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Altius is a rare full-service spice house—one of the few in North America that imports directly from growers and manages every step in-house.
With long-standing partnerships across major spice-growing regions, Altius maintains control from source to shelf. Its approach ensures that what ends up in the hands of chefs, retailers, or manufacturers meets the same high standards every time. Each shipment is tested on arrival, after processing, and again before distribution—an intensive quality check process that defines its reputation for reliability.
“In today’s fragmented supply chain, that level of consistency is difficult to achieve unless you control the entire process—and that’s exactly why we built the business this way,” says Carmine De Somma, general manager.

At the core of Altius’ promise is product integrity. The company sources only premium raw materials and applies rigorous testing to eliminate variability. From spice origin and moisture content to microbial safety and flavor intensity, every detail is scrutinized. Altius doesn’t just meet expectations—it exceeds them across all its channels.
People Quality
Behind every blend is a team with deep industry experience. With more than two decades in the business, Altius has built a culture of excellence rooted in accountability and proactive support. Whether it’s a culinary expert crafting a blend or a supply chain specialist solving a logistics challenge, clients benefit from expertise that anticipates their needs.
Service Quality
Service at Altius is as dependable as its spices. Whether supporting national retailers or small manufacturers, the company delivers flexible, responsive assistance—from R&D to fulfillment. On-time delivery, specification accuracy, and hands-on support make Altius a valued partner for businesses that can’t afford disruption.
Altius serves the full spectrum of the food industry through four divisions. Its private label program works closely with leading U.S. and Canadian retailers to co-develop proprietary blends, offering end-to-end support. In the food service sector, it supplies kitchen-ready seasonings tailored for high-volume operations.
The industrial division partners with food manufacturers, delivering bulk spices and blends with traceability and formulation integrity at scale. Meanwhile, Altius’ retail arm—both branded and private-label—brings high-quality herbs and spices directly to consumers.
With a fully integrated model and a relationship-first approach, Altius stands out in a space often challenged by vague sourcing and fragmented service. By fostering trust with suppliers and holding every link in the chain accountable, the company delivers more than spice—it delivers confidence.
This reliability becomes especially valuable during times of disruption. When other suppliers fall short, Altius steps in—offering dependable fulfillment, seamless onboarding, and consistency clients can count on. As businesses seek stability in a fast-moving landscape, many are turning to Altius for trusted, North American-based solutions.
Altius is investing in the future with a focus on innovation—actively developing next-generation spice blends and custom seasoning solutions that respond to evolving culinary influences, global flavor trends, and dietary preferences. But innovation never comes at the expense of its core values. Every new product is grounded in the same uncompromising foundation of transparency, traceability, safety, and quality that built the business in the first place.
