As important as the quality of the product, is the human quality of the people who produce it, with whom we build solid relationships based on the love for what we do.

Prioritizing the satisfaction of doing things well over short-term profitability.

The places, the environment that surrounds a product, largely determines its quality. Nature provides us with excellent raw materials that are transformed into gastronomic treasures using techniques learned over the years and passed down from father to son.

I consider it essential to know where the products come from, as well as their geographical and cultural environment to fully enjoy them.



Passion for products, people and places


Since I was very young I have had the desire to know and appreciate the different ingredients and products that are part of the gastronomic culture of different regions of the world.

My professional activity as a specialist in saffron and spices has allowed me to travel to more than 40 countries and get to know first-hand small producers of the most incredible gastronomic treasures.

I have decided to start a new business adventure developing, in cooperation with small artisan producers, a family of food products that I wanted to market under the brand De la Cueva. Can I offer a better guarantee of the quality of a product than putting the name of my family?

All these products reflect the values in which I believe: Quality, authenticity and passion.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
