In 1860 a small artisan confectionery was born in the city of Ávila which, over time, was renamed La Flor de Castilla.

This small family business began to manufacture and market the authentic and original Yemas of Santa Teresa. The recipe for this emblematic sweet has been transmitted identically from father to son for more than 160 years and today it continues to be the main gastronomic reference in the city of Ávila.

At the end of the eighties, Julián Gil Navarro, current president of Santa Teresa and a friend of the founding family, decided to become personally involved in the management of our century-old company. From that moment on, the company took a new course, expanding the range of products with the incorporation of high-quality Quince in its offer.

This first bet, the Quince Santa Teresa, is today one of the national and international pillars of our product portfolio and has been the seed for the creation of a wide variety of 100% natural products, aimed at a consumer that takes care of your diet and your health, thus becoming an innovative company that preserves quality and tradition.

In 2012 we began our journey in the international market, and currently we market our products in more than 20 countries with Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the USA and Japan, as main destinations.

2015 was the year of the start-up of the Santa Teresa Shop Gastronomic Centers network, currently having six locations between Ávila and Madrid.

Our most recent milestone, in 2018, has been the inauguration of our new and modern facilities in Ávila, which have the latest manufacturing technologies to optimize processes, which allows us to continue producing traditional products of the best quality.
