Quality Spices. Global Reach. Honest Trade.
About Us
Exotic Blends is the trading name of Swastik International UK Limited. We first set up back in 2006, in Gujarat, India – an area known for its farming and spice production. What began as a relatively small family-led venture has, over the years, grown into a business that helps connect buyers around the world with trusted agricultural products.
At the start, we mainly brought a handful of Indian spices into the UK. But as time went on, our sourcing spread wider. Today, we work with growers not just in India, but also across Africa, Asia, and other agricultural regions. This wider network lets us provide customers with a steady and varied supply, depending on what they need.
Certified Quality, Competitive Value
To keep standards high, we only use processing partners with proper certifications, like ISO and HACCP. Many of our items are also BRC-approved, which means they can be traced right back to the farm. That’s the kind of reassurance our clients expect.
Some of our customers order full container loads, while others prefer smaller, mixed shipments. Either way, we do our best to adapt. Because of the strong ties we’ve built with suppliers and farmers, we can usually keep prices competitive without cutting corners.
Our Main Products Include:
Sesame seeds (natural & hulled)
Ground & whole spices
Grains & pulses
