Manufacturer’s product description
The spice jar set from EDELHAUS offers a well-designed solution for anyone who wants to keep their kitchen tidy and stylish. The set includes 24 square spice jars made of clear glass with stainless steel lids, sprinkler inserts, a practical metal funnel and 240 labelled and unlabelled labels for individual identification. The jars look high-quality, are dishwasher and microwave safe and offer reliable aroma protection thanks to their airtight seal.
The variety and quality of the labels were particularly impressive in the test, as were the extensive accessories.
The only criticism: in isolated cases, slight discolouration or adhesive residue may occur on the labels – a minor flaw in an otherwise very well-designed product.
For anyone who values order, design and functionality, the EDELHAUS set is an excellent choice for storing spices.
Advantages
- High-quality glass and clear optics
- Extensive range of accessories
- Large selection of labels
- Airtight stainless steel lids for freshness
Disadvantages
- Adhesive labels rarely damaged when removed

The product was delivered safely and compactly packaged. The jars were well protected and stored in a break-proof manner, ensuring that all components arrived intact and without defects. The sustainable packaging, which largely avoided unnecessary plastic, was particularly positive. The delivery included 24 jars, each with a stainless steel screw lid and a sprinkler insert, as well as a metal funnel and more than 200 labelled and unlabelled labels. A short but clear instruction manual for using the labels rounded off the positive first impression.

The jars impressed with their clear transparency, flawless surface and even wall thickness. They are comfortable to hold and their angular shape makes them particularly space-saving and modern. The stainless steel lids are cleanly finished and screw on tightly, guaranteeing a tight seal. The labels are visually appealing, easy to apply and clearly legible. The funnel and cleaning brush supplied also appeared high-quality and functional. The jars for spices are more sustainable than spices packaged in plastic, for example. Overall, the set gives a high-quality impression and fits well into both modern and classic kitchens.

The EDELHAUS spice jars demonstrated their full strength in practical testing: the jars passed the material tests (drop, sound and visual tests) with flying colours and showed no defects or breakages. The closure test with water and shaking revealed a completely tight seal, even when shaken vigorously. Even after being filled with strong spices such as cumin or cinnamon, the jars remained odourless after airing. Cleaning was easy and left no residue. The labels withstood the water and friction tests very well, although there was minimal edge lifting on a few individual items. Overall, the test confirmed the high practicality, quality and suitability for everyday use.
