Silver Tin

Silver tin, the airtight storage for your spices

The silver tin from Altes Gewürzamt keeps spices fresh, aromatic and within reach. Airtight sealable, it protects the contents from light, air and moisture, and robust and long-lasting, it accompanies you for many years. It is delivered empty so you can fill it with your favourite spices.

How to use

Fill the tin with whole or ground spices, with salt, pepper or herbs and close it firmly. That keeps the aroma protected and your spices neatly sorted on the worktop, in the cupboard or on your travels. Store the tin in a dry, dark place so the contents keep best.

Good to know: the tin is delivered empty, without content. Fill it with dry spices and clean it with a dry cloth before filling, not in the dishwasher.

What makes the tin special?

Its tightly closing lid keeps out oxygen and moisture, the two biggest enemies of spice aroma. Unlike clear jars, the contents stay protected from light, which fades the essential oils over time. The plain silver suits any kitchen and is easy to label.
