Brindisa's 34th Birthday
Today, on January 28th 2022, Brindisa has been operating for 34 years. With the help of my father and brother, Mark, I brought my first pallet of Spanish produce to the UK and it all began with cheese.
A time for reflection
It's hard to believe that we have been running the Brindisa warehouse for 34 years. It feels as though it was only yesterday the first pallet of Spanish cheese landed in the UK at Penguin Coldstores in Southampton. My brother Mark curated the cheese selection and Dad and I weighed each cheese and created our first invoice!
The 34-year journey has taught us so much. As we have grown we have deepened our focus on Spain and all it produces and provides. We are proud of the breadth and depth of what we can bring over to the UK to share with you - and long may that diversity continue and last in this new age.
I hope your stores, larders and tables are enriched by as many of our foods as possible. Our enthusiasm for what we do has not waned over these decades. On the contrary, it has grown tenfold and drives us to keep doing more each day!
Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed eating and cooking with Brindisa products. The continued interest and love of Spanish products means that we can continue to do what we love.
Long may we keep bringing the finest flavours of Spain to you in exciting and interesting ways.
Warmest Wishes,
Monika

A trip down memory lane
As Brindisa turns another older, it gives us the perfect opportunity to reflect on how far the company has come.
