Our story started in the Lame neighbourhood of Bologna, when the Cannamela family decided to embark on a new adventure: starting up a spice trade with products from the best cultivations around the world.
This marked the beginning of a journey that would bring together ingredients from lands near and far.

We were still a small company when we began to venture beyond our home region, all thanks to an innovative choice: we decided to package our raw materials in transparent bags that were easy to use and had clearly visible contents.

These bags would later turn into the iconic packaging with its iconic dosing cap.

In 1994 we were the first in Europe to introduce a sanitisation treatment for our raw materials, protecting the food safety of our herbs and spices.

1995 was another important year in which we joined the Montenegro Group. While preserving our Bolognese roots, it invested in improving production technology and quality control.

By collaborating with farms that pay close attention to biodiversity and the vitality of the soil, with crops that do not impoverish it, Cannamela Bionatura was launched in 2000: the first line of herbs and spices exclusively from organic farming marketed in Italy.

The experience gained over time serves as the starting point from which Cannamela continues to build its path to growth. In-depth knowledge of the market and a focus on changing consumer habits guide the development of products that are always in tune with the times, capable of reflecting new tastes, occasions for consumption and emerging trends. This vision, geared towards change, enables the brand to consolidate its position as a leader in the category, helping to promote and celebrate the culture of taste.
