“If we wouldn't eat a product at home, it doesn't enter the catalogue.”
Orígenes is an online fine-food grocer specialising in artisan Spanish products. Our principle is simple: we only sell what we would eat ourselves. No endless catalogue, no dormant stock — a tasted selection, chosen one by one, around named Spanish houses and their craft.
Four commitments
Tested in the kitchen
Every product is tasted before entering the catalogue. If it doesn't convince us, it doesn't go in.
Traceability
Producer, region and harvest named. You know where what you buy comes from, and who made it.
Fast delivery
Prepared and shipped from our Villeneuve (VD) warehouse, in 2 to 5 working days. Free shipping over 25 CHF.
14-day returns
Free returns within 14 days, prepaid label, for any unopened product.
The founder
It all began with a paella
I'm Héctor. Son of a Valencian father from Sueca — the birthplace of paella — and a Galician mother from Ourense. In 2014 I opened La Bonne Paella in Montreux: I cooked for the Swiss the dish I grew up with, and watched their faces light up with every bite of Spain.
Over time a yearning grew: to bring to Switzerland not just my paellas, but a whole piece of my origins — the oil, the pimentón, the saffron, the preserves we truly use at home. In 2024 I founded Orígenes for that. Today I choose each product one by one, from named Spanish houses, and we ship it to you customs-free from our warehouse in Villeneuve. If we wouldn't eat it at my table, it doesn't enter the catalogue.
Our houses, our terroirs
From La Chinata's gentle oil (Extremadura) to Carmencita's saffron (Alicante), from Espinaler's preserves (Catalonia) to Finca La Barca's smoked pimentón (La Vera), from Plaza del Sol's apéritifs (Alicante) to Miel de León's forest honey, to Almazara Terraverne's altitude oil (Teba, Málaga) — each house has its story.
