Sourcing
From Himalayan Soil
Every ingredient comes from a specific hillside, not a generic supplier list. Here's where a few of them actually grow.

Meet Our Farmers
We buy directly from around thirty small farming households across Ilam, Kavre, and Dolakha, most of whom our sourcing lead has known personally for years. No brokers, no unnamed "partner farms." If a batch tastes different this year, we can usually tell you exactly why.

A Family Recipe, Shared Wider
One recipe book, three generations of handwriting
It started in a small Kathmandu kitchen with a recipe book that got passed down, edited in the margins, and argued over at every family gathering. We didn't change the recipes when we started selling. We just started measuring them.
Process
How We Make It
Pick
Chilies and produce are picked by hand at peak ripeness, usually the same week they're ordered.
Dry
Sun-drying happens on open racks over one to three days, weather depending, to concentrate flavor.
Grind
Spices are toasted and stone-ground in small batches, never pre-mixed or bought ready-made.
Jar
Each jar is packed, sealed, and dated by hand, then quality-checked before it ships.
The Difference
Why Aamaa Achar
Small-Batch, Always
We cap batches so quality doesn't slide as orders grow. Some weeks that means a product sells out.
No Artificial Preservatives
Salt, oil, and time do the preserving, the same way it's been done for generations.
Direct From Nepali Farms
We know most of our growers by name. No unnamed middlemen in the supply chain.
Packed to Survive Shipping
Every jar is wax-sealed and cushioned for international transit. Breakage gets replaced free.
