Sri Lanka's finest spices, turned into ingredients the world relies on.
Since 2009, STAY Naturals has turned Sri Lanka's most celebrated spices into ingredients that industry can rely on. From our facility in Matale, the island's spice capital, we distil, extract and refine pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and clove into essential oils, oleoresins and natural extracts of exacting consistency.
Some of the world's largest flavour and ingredient houses trust us to deliver the same character, batch after batch.
It all begins in the hills of Matale.
Matale, in the hills of central Sri Lanka, has been the island's spice heartland for generations, and home to some of its finest pepper. We buy directly from the farmers who tend these crops, so we know where every raw material comes from and can trace it to the finished product. Being at origin means the spice reaches our stills fresh, its full spectrum of flavour and aroma intact.
Where the spice meets the science.
Every ingredient we make is distilled, refined and verified on one site in Matale. Because every step is ours, every step is accountable, and every batch can be made the same way again.
