Our food company was founded in 1943 by Doroteo Yanguas. In the bakery we make our renowned fardelejos. We have incorporated machinery over the years to provide a uniform product without losing the traditional and artisan component we retain from one generation to the next. In addition our bakery has a certificate from the Government of La Rioja, which accredits us as an artisan company. A seal that distinguishes us and identifies us as authentic producers who follow the same methods as our parents.

Our company philosophy is to be able to bring to your home traditional products of the highest quality, made with the craftsmanship of yesteryear.

We produce our products with all-natural ingredients, collected in our valley, allowing us to achieve that superior quality which has made us leaders in the domestic market.

This technique consists of cutting out pieces from the less deteriorated parts of worn clothing and other fabrics. The small pieces are subsequently sewn together, creating curious patterns which comprise colourful designs. The origins of this craft are a need for recycling as a result of financial hardship.
