In 1946 the founder, Juan Antonio Solís, purchased a small laboratory of diet products for the manufacture and sale of almond milk in Barcelona. This product was sold in chemists’ and food stores. The decorated glass packaging immediately caused a great impact on consumers at the time.
In 1960 the company launched Solís Mayonnaise, with great commercial success and an advertising campaign that was a milestone for being one of the first brands to advertise on television. Soon after Solís, within its strategy of developing healthy and nutritious products, launched the first mass market Spanish style tomato sauce selling over 2 million units in just over 2 years, and enjoying great acceptance and a reputation for its quality. Since then the Spanish style tomato sauce established itself on the market and became a reference point in the culinary category.
The Solís factory belongs to the Nestlé Group since 1985, which allows us to benefit from latest generation production processes and stimulates quality and rigor in the purchase of raw materials and their subsequent manufacturing process.
Since Solís launched the first mass market Spanish style tomato sauce in Spain in the 60’s, our brand has established itself on the market becoming a reference point in this culinary category
Our tradition of maintaining original recipes has given us the possibility to continue making Spanish style tomato sauce sauces that everybody enjoys because of their quality. This allows us to transmit tradition in our modern premises of our factory in Extremadura.
Our current factory in Miajadas started functioning in 1976. It is located in the region of Las Vegas del Guadiana (Extremadura), an area where tomato is the main horticultural crop thanks to its perfect adaptation both to the climate conditions and to the availability of water for farming. This gives us easy access to raw materials that are just ripe and whose color, sweetness, texture and flavor are ideal for making the best sauces. During the purchasing process from local farmers we take great care in the application of farming practices that yield high quality specimen using farming methods that are respectful with the environment.
These tomatoes, along with the rest of ingredients which are 100% natural, are cooked according to the original recipe to obtain the desired flavor and, after a sterilization process which guarantees food safety, are packaged in glass jars, tins or cartons.
The quality process we have in place guarantees the unique taste of our sauces thanks to the control we have over the entire process starting with the harvest in the field all the way to the finished product.
