Henry David Thoreau

In wildness is the preservation of the world.

Beach walk

The inspiration for our tins came from an early morning walk on a quiet beach. There, in the distance we saw the most beautiful pebble, some millions of years old. Timeless, unique and enduring.

Attention to detail

Our packaging was designed with our four principles in mind.It had to be tasteful, sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and it had to have the ability to tell stories as well as create its own.

All Millstone products are bioactive, which is to say, when consumed, they have a positive effect on your mind, body and wellbeing. Our spices, herbs and salts are loaded with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, polyphenols and can be considered as part of your five a day and even thirty a day. We are dedicated to making sure you get these products as fresh and as potent as the day we pack them. That is why we have gone to great lengths to ensure none of the good stuff is lost. Read below to find out more about our efficient and sustainable packaging.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM - INSIDE + OUT

THE LID

Recycled tin material

Air tight sealing to ensure Millstone products stay their best

In order for Millstone to fulfill its goal of offering transformative spices, herbs and salts, it’s crucial that our products maintain their strength from seed to shelf and beyond. Our products are full of nature’s most powerful compounds that love to escape so we have three barriers in place to ensure none are lost. Not only are our tins moisture and light proof, but our lids actively push out any remaining air left in the tin. Scroll below to find out about how our Natureflex bags go even further.

BIO BAG

Thinking about nature

100% composible Natureflex Bag

Our spices, herbs and salts are as medicinal as they are a food. In order to retain their potency and transformative properties, we pack them inside Natureflex bags. Natureflex bags are compostable bags made from renewable resources like wood pulp and are a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic packaging. It is our hope that if you order Millstone on a regular basis you will opt for our refill bags, whereby you can simply replace your empty bag with a new one. This helps us keep Millstone as a sustainable leader in the food industry.

 

FSC CERTIFIED PAPER

In nature we trust

FSC certified paper that comes from responsibly managed forests

The FSC label is the world’s most trusted mark for sustainable forestry and we are proud to bear their mark on our packaging. When you purchase FSC-labelled products, you’re helping forests, and the people that rely on them, thrive by supporting  zero deforestation, fair wage and a fair work environment, support the change from preservation to conservation and build community rights.

THE TIN

The marble effect tin with its rustic charm will look good in any pantry or cupboard and you are sure to want to display it at every opportunity.
