Our Story

Where India's rarest
flavours begin — the farm.

India has 658 Geographical Indication-tagged agricultural products. Most of them are unknown to the global specialty food market. Not because the demand doesn't exist — but because the supply chain doesn't.

Terroir India was built to close that gap. We work directly with GI-registered farming communities, certify every batch at NABL-accredited laboratories, and deliver to specialty food buyers globally with full farm-to-buyer documentation.

We are a merchant exporter under Navnaya Innovations LLP, registered with APEDA and the Spices Board of India.

Why Terroir India

What makes us different

GI Authenticated

Every product carries a legally protected Geographical Indication — the same system as Champagne and Parmesan. The origin cannot be faked or replicated.

Farm Traceable

QR code on every package links to the GPS-tagged farm, harvest date, producer name, and NABL lab test results. Scan and verify in seconds.

EtO-Free Processing

All spices steam-sterilised using EtO-free methods. EU MRL compliant. Every batch tested at NABL-accredited laboratories before export.

Direct from Farmers

We buy directly from GI-registered farming communities, paying a premium over mandi prices. No middlemen diluting quality or provenance.

Lab-Verified Specs

Every batch tested at NABL-accredited laboratories. Curcumin by HPLC. ASTA colour value. SHU by HPLC. Piperine by HPLC. You get the numbers, not just the claims.
