Espinaler

[edit]

Espinaler is a Catalan family-run company specializing in canned foods, best known for its Espinaler Sauce, a condiment used to season snacks typically served with [vermouth]. Founded in 1896 in Vilassar de Mar, Catalonia, the company has grown to export its products to Europe, Asia, and the United States, and is now in its fourth generation of tavern owners.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

History

[edit]

In 1896, Miquel Riera i Prat opened a tavern in Vilassar de Mar, where he sold wine in bulk. In 1946, his grandson, Joan Tapias, began serving vermouth and selling canned goods at the tavern. In 1950, Joan’s wife, Ventureta Roldós, created Espinaler Sauce, which became the company’s flagship product. During the 1970s, their son, Miquel Tapias, expanded the business by bottling and distributing the sauce. By 2004, Espinaler had extended its market throughout Catalonia and Spain. In 2012, the company began exporting to Europe, Asia (including Tokyo and Hong Kong), and the United States. Products and Shops Espinaler offers approximately 150 product references under its own brand, Espinaler, and the Pepus brand. The company operates three tavern-shops in Catalonia: two in Vilassar de Mar and one in Badalona.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
