Grupo Riberebro inherited 200 combined years of experience in the Spanish food industry from three family businesses. It was created from three historic canned food brands: Gvtarra, a benchmark in the Spanish canned vegetable sector since 1910; Ja'e, which has been making cooked legumes since 1970 and Ayecue (1982), a leading mushroom and farm-raised mushroom company that, thanks to its partnership with Eurochamp, has become the 2nd largest operator in this specialty in Europe and the 3rd largest globally.
Riberebro experts work hand in hand with farmers from Navarra and Rioja to carefully select the best possible raw materials. To ensure product freshness, their vegetables, legumes and mushrooms are delivered to the processing plants a few hours after they are collected.
One of Riberebro's main functions is to promote healthy eating. Therefore, it produces and markets edible plant products. Vegetables, legumes and mushrooms carefully prepared for people who follow a balanced diet and for those that enjoy cooking daily; highly nutritious healthy food, essential in Mediterranean cooking; products that are easy to make and that save time in the kitchen.
Mastering the value chain is key to Riberebro's perspective of the agro-industrial business. Only then is its commitment to quality and food safety possible.
