BRINDISA:

The company name comes from the word ‘brindis’, to raise one’s glass in a toast, and their work over the past 30 years has been to toast and celebrate the varied cultures, landscapes and, above all the exceptional foods of Spain.

Thirty years on the business has grown to include:

– A wholesale business providing hundreds of different products to many of the country’s finest restaurants, delis and food halls.

– One of the first retail outlets in Borough Market, Southwark, now regarded as being among the finest food markets in Britain.

– A Spanish cheese and charcuterie delicatessen in Balham, South London, including freshly carved iberico bellota ham.

– Five groundbreaking tapas bars and restaurants in Central London, all certified with ICEX’s Restaurants from Spain quality seal.

– Hugely popular ham schools, where customers learn the essentials of carving jamón and to determine the best wine pairings with our experts.

– An online shop, which ensures that their delicious Spanish foods are available throughout the UK, whenever and wherever you need them.

ULTRACOMIDA:

Ultracomida began in Aberystwyth in 2001, as a small deli with takeout options which then expanded to include a small cellar seating area. Their primary focus was on cheeses and meats from Spain. From day one, they have imported directly from the producer, with Gomeoliva being one of their very first suppliers.

In 2005 they opened the second Ultracomida in Narberth. The focus here was a larger, family-friendly, daytime only, shared seating restaurant area and they added wines to their range. 2010 saw the beginning of their entry into online sales with their website selling the full range of their Spanish produce across most of mainland UK, while their wholesale business from the Aberystwyth warehouse also began to grow.

All their establishments are certified with the Colmados from Spain quality seal.

In 2016 they opened Curado Bar in Cardiff, certified with the Restaurants from Spain quality seal. Based on the pinxto bars of northern Spain, this has much more of a city centre bar feel with the emphasis on the quality of the produce and the informal style of Spanish eating. Their latest venture is a tiny space next door to Curado Bar in Cardiff, called VERMUT, opened in March 2020.
