Comesa - Productos Españoles

Comesa was founded in Guatemala fourteen years ago by Spanish nationals who have been involved in the Spanish food import and distribution business in the country. The company sells its products to Spanish restaurants in Guatemala as well as to hotels and supermarkets. It also owns a retail store (Foodie Market) where the products it imports and distributes can be purchased by any individual with a passion for the foods from Spain.In spite of the challenges of currency exchange rates, the interest for Spanish foods in this Central American country has evidenced a rising trend in the past few years. This has been an incentive for Comesa to undertake a non-stop exercise of finding new Spanish flavors with which to delight Guatemalans.The company’s Spanish product portfolio includes olives (Bulerías), marmalades (La Vieja Fábrica), chocolates (Torras), sugar-free cookies and candies (Virginia), sausages (Villar), cheese (El Piconero), and other references the owners have discovered through Spanish supermarkets and food fairs like Alimentaria.This company also owns a food store, Delicadezas Españolas, specialized in Spanish foods.
