As far back as the late 19th century, the original Mrs Rogers began experimenting with new and interesting herbs and spices. She was ahead of her time as she experimented with different blends, pounding them by hand, to add fresh and exciting flavours to those traditional recipes she cooked for her family.

Descendants of Mrs Rogers were so impressed by the flavour combinations that they revived her original recipes and established Mrs Rogers Herbs & Spices. They also worked together with a new wholly owned New Zealand company dedicated to the achieving the highest standards of quality and to raising the awareness and use of herbs and spices
