## The essentials

- Orígenes ships from its warehouse in Villeneuve (canton of Vaud): parcels stay in Switzerland, with no customs and no VAT to pay on delivery.
- Every product comes from a Spanish artisan house we know: La Chinata, Carmencita, Plaza del Sol, Espinaler, Finca La Barca, Miel de León.
- For a first order, start with the basics: an extra virgin olive oil, smoked pimentón and a few tins of seafood for the aperitif.
- Add saffron if you love paella and an artisan honey for breakfast; the house packs are a good way to taste widely.

## Six houses, six crafts

Tap a house: where it comes from, what it makes.

### La Chinata

A family house from Plasencia (Cáceres), now in its fourth generation. Olive oil and olive-based cosmetics.

**The olive**
Manzanilla Cacereña, a variety from the north of the province of Cáceres, picked by hand.

**On the palate**
A mild, rounded oil, without the pepperiness or bitterness of southern oils.

### Carmencita

Founded in Novelda (Alicante) by Jesús Navarro Jover and Carmen Valero. Saffron is its original speciality.

**A first**
The first Spanish company to pack spices in glass jars.

**The flagship**
Paellero, a spice blend with saffron for paella.

### Plaza del Sol

A house from San Vicente del Raspeig (Alicante): olives, tins and snacks.

**The stuffed olives**
Pitted green Manzanilla, in a 280 g easy-open tin.

### Espinaler

It began as a wine and vermouth tavern founded by Miquel Riera i Prat. Seafood tins came in the 1970s.

**The famous sauce**
Espinaler sauce, created in 1952: vinegar, red pimentón, black pepper and spices. It is the house aperitif sauce.

### Finca La Barca

Smoked specialities from the Oliva González family, the same family as La Chinata. The peppers come from the La Vera district.

**The pimentón**
Pimentón de la Vera PDO, slowly smoked over oak and holm oak wood, then ground in a stone mill.

### Miel de León

A family house from Pobladura de Fontecha (León), with its own production. Hives in the forests of the province of León and El Bierzo.

**The forest honey**
Bramble, chestnut, heather and oak. Dark amber colour, strong toasted taste, less sweet.

## Where to start

Four steps to a Spanish pantry.

### An extra virgin olive oil

La Chinata's, mild and rounded, suits a salad as well as a slow-cooked dish.

### Smoked pimentón

Finca La Barca's Pimentón de la Vera PDO: a sweet, smoked paprika with no additives.

### Tinned seafood

A few open tins on the table and some bread: the spirit of a tapas bar.

### Saffron and honey

Saffron if you love paella, an artisan honey for the morning.

**Saffron in sachets**
Carmencita sells ground saffron in 0.1 g sachets: each one is enough for about four servings.
