Made in Spain Gourmet is your ideal partner Europe loves Spanish gourmet cuisine There is something wonderful that has been happening in Europe for years: cities are becoming increasingly cosmopolitan. People from different cultures, lifestyles and nationalities live together, sharing experiences, travels… and cuisine. And Spain has a lot to offer. Because those who visit Spain usually come back in love with our food. With extra virgin olive oil, Iberian ham, premium preserves, artisanal cheeses, wines, sauces, olives or our traditional sweets. Then an inevitable question arises: “Where can I find authentic Spanish gourmet products in my city?” And that same question is the one dozens of gourmet shops across Europe have asked us for more than 6 years. The problem is not finding Spanish products. The problem is finding the best ones. Nowadays you can find “Spanish” products in practically any European supermarket. But here’s the big difference: Not everything Spanish is gourmet. And not everything labeled gourmet is truly Spanish. At Made in Spain Gourmet we’ve seen situations for years that create a lot of confusion in the European market. The most common mistakes when buying Spanish gourmet products Attractive packaging doesn’t guarantee quality Many brands have understood that attractive design helps sell. And yes, packaging matters. But we’ve also seen products with a premium image that hide very ordinary quality or mass industrial production. European consumers deserve authenticity. Labeling confusion This is probably one of the biggest problems in the international gourmet sector. A product saying “Spain” or showing a Spanish flag does not necessarily mean it was made in Spain. This happens a lot with: preserves/canned goods honey oils cured meats Also terms like: “Pata Negra” “Gourmet” “Galician Mussels” “Spanish Oil” Can be used commercially without actually representing the quality or origin the consumer imagines. And that’s where knowledge comes in. Producers without an international structure We’ve met extraordinary producers. With wonderful products. But with export departments unable to respond quickly, prepare documentation or understand the real needs of a European gourmet shop. Which is a premium shop, sensitive to personal service and cannot be categorized as a distributor with large warehouses. It’s an oasis. And that causes huge commercial opportunities to be lost. The problem of minimum order quantities This point is key. European gourmet shops usually cannot buy large quantities of each SKU. Why? Here are some reasons: they have limited space they work with varied assortments they need to test products they must educate the local customer However, many Spanish brands still require high minimum orders that make it very difficult to start a business relationship. And honestly… we fully understand that problem. The solution is called Made in Spain Gourmet At Made in Spain Gourmet Store we are not just an online Spanish gourmet shop. We are also a bridge between the best Spanish producers and the European gourmet stores that seek authenticity, quality and flexibility. After more than 6 years working across Europe (EU, Switzerland and Norway), we’ve learned something very valuable: Each European market consumes differently. France does not look for the same things as Germany. Luxembourg does not consume the same as Italy. Norway does not have the same habits as Croatia or Poland. And all that experience we share with our B2B clients (professionals). Our meetings are based on empathy and always on finding win/win solutions so that the real winner is the end consumer. What do we offer European gourmet shops? A true selection of Spanish gourmet products We work with: premium extra virgin olive oils Iberian ham artisan cured meats premium preserves Spanish cheeses gourmet sauces rice nuts traditional sweets gourmet legumes And above all, we personally know every producer we work with. Quantities adapted to each shop This is one of our great values. You don’t need to start by buying huge volumes. We adapt to the real needs of each gourmet shop. Because we know you must first win the end customer’s heart. Genuine culinary consulting We don’t just sell products. And that helps a shop sell much better. Because when the customer understands the product… they buy with emotion. We explain: stories producers pairings regions varieties quality differences We already work with gourmet shops across Europe We currently work with clients in: France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, Norway, Italy, Croatia, Poland and Lithuania And we keep growing. Because Europe loves Spanish cuisine when it’s presented with authenticity and knowledge. Choose well, enjoy more At Made in Spain Gourmet we are here to help you.
