From star chef to spice manufacturer

Ingo Holland’s journey – passion became vocation

From star chef to spice manufacturer

Ingo Holland’s journey – passion became vocation

Founder Ingo Holland could look back on a long and successful career as a top-class and Michelin-starred chef. Until he closed his restaurant in 2007, Ingo Holland was one of Germany's 38 best chefs. From 1991 to 2007, he held a Michelin star, and his restaurant "Zum Alten Rentamt" in Klingenberg was awarded 18 Gault Millau points. The inferior spices offered to him as a chef prompted Ingo Holland to embark on his own search for the best spices.

At this point, a passion developed into a new challenge and vocation: the foundation stone for the Altes Gewürzamt was laid and Ingo Holland founded the “Altes Gewürzamt” manufactory in his hometown in 2001.
