Fernanda is a Brazilian who came to Spain with a clear business idea. She started the idea 3 years ago, but it was not until last year that it materialised into what we know today as Hola Brasil. Hola Brasil is our mentta shop specialising in Brazilian products. The differential value of this small business is to spread Brazilian culture throughout the peninsula. To do this, Fernanda is in constant contact with Brazilian artisan producers. Find out more about the history of Hola Brasil!

Mikel, current head of the company, tells us a little about his work within La Vega y el Hortelano, as well as his company policy and the great importance of local food. The family business continues and they do so at mentta, a trusted food Marketplace that encourages the sale of local food as well as local producers.
