Raised in Brazil and inspired by her great interest in health and natural ways of living, Ingrid pursued her education as an Ayurvedic therapist. Her youngest daughter Cecilia, after her business degree, attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a holistic nutrition coach. With this knowledge and the vision to spread a healthy lifestyle through a natural diet, mother and daughter founded the creative family business ALONGA®, an exclusive manufactory for exquisite Ayurvedic spice mixtures and a center for yoga, Ayurvedic knowledge transfer and holistic health coaching.

In the development and processing of their products, they are guided by deep conviction in uncompromising quality, sustainability and the millennia-old science of Ayurvedic teachings.The health aspects of Ayurveda as well as the incredible variety of taste are the incentives when Ingrid and Cecilia, as a kind of 'alchemists of flavors', create, hand- roast and process their spice blends.

The gentle roasting and crushing process of the exclusively organic certified spices retains the essential oils and natural flavors. This process makes ALONGA® products a unique taste experience.
ALONGA® spice blends are the soul of lovingly prepared dishes and stand for physical well-being and individual cooking pleasure.
