Spanish sauces and condiments: the soul of authentic dishes

Sauces and condiments are far more than accompaniments in Spain—they are gustatory pillars that transform a simple dish into a memorable experience. At Orígenes, we offer a rigorous selection from artisanal producers who perpetuate recipes passed down through generations, without industrial shortcuts. From rich-flavored sofrito to piquant salsa brava, delicate aiolis and velvety romesco, you will discover textures and flavor balances that mass commerce systematically ignores.

The producers we distribute

Our catalog centers on three reference producers: Plaza del Sol, which embodies the Catalan tradition of mother sauces; La Chinata, renowned for its mayonnaises and truffle-infused condiments of rare subtlety; and Espinaler, undisputed master of vermouth sauces and sophisticated aperitif preparations. Each of these houses distinguishes itself through its commitment to ingredient quality and the absence of superfluous additives.

How to choose your sauce or condiment

Sofrito works perfectly as a base for paella, ratatouille or stews; salsa brava pairs ideally with croquettes and patatas bravas. Aioli, in its traditional or truffle version, enhances seafood, eggs and grilled vegetables. Romesco, richer in flavor, shines with white fish or roasted vegetables. Espinaler's vermouth sauces naturally find their place at the aperitif table, with Iberian ham or characterful cheese.

We recommend starting with a sofrito and salsa brava if you are new to these categories—they are the two essentials that open the Spanish flavor universe.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between sofrito and salsa brava?
Sofrito is a base slowly cooked (onions, tomatoes, garlic, peppers) intended for cooking; salsa brava is a piquant, emulsified sauce ready to use for dipping or accompanying. Sofrito enriches your home-cooked dishes, salsa brava is enjoyed immediately.

Are they suitable for vegan or gluten-free diets?
Some products are, others contain anchovies or animal derivatives (check the labeling). Artisanal-quality aiolis and sofrito are generally without added gluten, but consult the product sheet for each reference.

How do you store these sauces after opening?
In the refrigerator, between 4 and 8 °C, in an airtight container. Most keep for 2–3 weeks after opening. Artisanal products, without excess preservatives, require more care than industrial sauce.

Do you deliver without customs duties in Switzerland?
Yes. As a Swiss supplier, we handle customs formalities. You pay Swiss VAT (included in the price) and benefit from direct delivery without surprises.
