Import Cumin Seeds — Buy in wholesale FOB from Supplier in Spain

Cumin seeds from Olive Oil & Pickles Loja are whole, dried seeds of Cuminum cyminum, harvested and sorted to remove foreign matter. The seeds are typically 4 to 7 millimeters in length, with a ridged surface and a warm, earthy aroma. These seeds are not roasted or ground, preserving their natural volatile oils for use in whole-seed applications or as a base for grinding. The listing confirms they originate from Spain, though the supplier's description references India, which is inconsistent with the origin field and must be verified by the buyer.

Cumin seeds are classified by color, size, and purity. Standard commercial grades allow up to 2% foreign matter and moisture content below 10%. The supplier does not specify a grade, but typical high-grade cumin from Mediterranean regions has a dark brown hue, low chalkiness, and minimal broken seed content. These seeds are often used in spice blends for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, where their unroasted form delivers a more subtle, citrusy note compared to toasted cumin.

Buyers in food manufacturing, wholesale spice distributors, and specialty retailers in Europe source these seeds for use in breads, pickling brines, and spice rubs. Packaging is typically in 25-kilogram polypropylene bags, though exact packaging details are not confirmed. Trade terms are not listed; buyers must confirm Incoterms, lead time, and minimum order quantities directly with the supplier. The supplier’s location in Málaga suggests potential for efficient EU logistics.

Olive Oil & Pickles Loja is based in Málaga, Spain, with a physical address listed at Juan Valera, 33. The company's name suggests a focus on Mediterranean food products, including oils and preserved goods, though the listing does not confirm whether cumin seeds are a core product or an add-on offering. There is no information about years in business, staff size, or export history. The trust tier is listed as harbor, indicating basic verification, but response rate and average response time are zero, suggesting limited buyer communication capacity.

The supplier does not claim certifications, production capacity, or client lists. The source description incorrectly references India as a source of supply, which contradicts the listed origin of Spain. Buyers should treat this as a potential mismatch and verify the actual origin of the product before ordering. The supplier appears to be a small-scale trader or distributor rather than a producer, with no visible processing or packaging infrastructure described.
