Where it is made

NE Origins is a Gangtok company. We buy from small producers and self-help groups in Sikkim and other Northeast states, and sell their ferments, spices, honey, jams and pickles across India.

Kinema and gundruk are fermented foods of the Sikkim hills, and the stingless bee honey comes from Nagaland. Several pickles use Dalle Khursani, the round red chilli of Sikkim, and our King Chilli Pickle is made with chillies from Nagaland. New to these foods? Start with which jar to try first, or read how King Chilli and Dalle Khursani compare.
