Description of activity
Spanish producer of potato-based snacks with fully integrated organic cultivation and processing.
Aperitivos de Añavieja is a Spain-based food manufacturer located in the village of Añavieja (province of Soria). The company focuses on high-quality potato snacks produced from its own organic potato crops and processed in facilities adjacent to its warehouses, enabling close control over product quality and traceability.
Key strengths and capabilities:
- Vertical integration: owns and manages the full value chain from sowing and cultivation to harvesting, processing, storage and dispatch.
- Raw materials: 80 hectares of organic potato production (10 ha in an earlier, warmer zone; 70 ha at Añavieja), grown on historically nutrient-rich soils that were part of a drained lake bed.
- Agronomy and quality controls: on-site composting facility to produce organic fertilizer, sprinkler irrigation, and cultivation at above 1,000 m elevation which reduces pest pressure and supports slow, progressive tuber ripening.
- Harvest and handling: potatoes are hand-harvested, surface-dried/air-cured before storage, and kept in warehouses with controlled temperature and humidity to preserve quality year-round.
- Processing: manufacturing plant connected to storage enables timely processing of home-grown potatoes into finished snack products, preserving freshness and allowing traceability from field to finished product.
Value proposition:
- Traceable, single-origin potato snacks made from organically grown tubers under the company's direct control.
- Agronomic advantages (high-altitude climate, diurnal temperature variation, peat-rich soils and on-site composting) that support distinctive crop quality and stable, clean raw materials.
- End-to-end control of supply chain, enabling consistent raw material quality and processing conditions.
Suitable partners and buyers:
- Food distributors and retailers seeking traceable, organic potato-based snacks.
- Private-label partners looking for vertically integrated suppliers with controlled cultivation and processing.
- Ingredient buyers interested in organically produced potatoes or potato derivatives with documented farm-to-factory handling.
