Espinaler

Immerse yourself in the world of Espinaler, a Mediterranean gourmet brand with more than 125 years of history dedicated to elevating the art of the aperitivo. Founded in 1896 as a small tavern in Vilassar de Mar, near Barcelona, Espinaler has become one of Spain’s most iconic names in premium sauces, olives and gourmet snacks.

About

Espinaler’s story began in a traditional seaside tavern serving vermouth and gourmet aperitivo products to locals and visitors along the Catalan coast. Over five generations, the family transformed that small establishment into an internationally recognised gourmet brand while preserving the essence of Mediterranean aperitivo culture.

More than a simple snack moment, the aperitivo is an essential part of Mediterranean culture, a ritual that brings together flavour, conversation and conviviality. Espinaler has built its identity around this experience, combining tradition, authenticity and carefully selected ingredients to create products designed for sharing and enjoyment.

A defining moment in the company’s history came in the 1950s with the creation of the legendary Salsa Espinaler, a closely guarded recipe combining vinegar, spices and peppers that became an icon of Spanish aperitivo culture. Today, Espinaler continues to build on this legacy through an extensive range of premium aperitivo products enjoyed both in Spain and internationally.

Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

Quality and authenticity are at the heart of Espinaler’s philosophy. For more than a century, the brand has remained committed to carefully selected ingredients, trusted suppliers and traditional Mediterranean flavours that define the aperitivo experience. From their iconic sauces to premium olives and gourmet snacks, every product is developed with a focus on consistency, flavour and quality. Espinaler combines heritage and craftsmanship with modern production standards, ensuring that each product maintains the character and identity that have made the brand a reference within Spanish gastronomy. Their long-standing expertise, attention to detail and commitment to preserving authentic recipes continue to shape the brand today. Alongside quality, Espinaler also values responsible sourcing and long-term relationships with producers and partners, supporting a sustainable approach to Mediterranean food culture while continuing to innovate for modern horeca and retail markets.

Mevalco is proud to work with Espinaler, sharing a common philosophy based on quality, authenticity and respect for Mediterranean food culture.
