Who we are

Envasados Lola SCA is a cooperative from Cordoba which consists of five female partners that produces homemade typical Andalusian dishes such as Gazpacho and Salmorejo, vegetable creams, gourmet products such as olive pates with vegetables, sauces and exclusive products such us the olive jam/sweet olive spread.

Our company was conceived in 1995, a year when the local sugar refinery San Rafael in Villarrubia (Córdoba) closed down leaving a lot of members from different families in the area without a job and with no other alternative than to move.

In view of this situation, a group of women from the area joined up around a business idea. The product to start from: sautéed cooking base. The two clear objectives to follow: the preservation, defence and promotion of the Mediterranean Cuisine against the new eating habits and the lack of time to cook healthy, as well as working for the economical and business development of the area.

From the beginning of 1996 and up till now, we have been working hard in order to make our wishes come true. We go on innovating and adding new products to our range, with more than 30 right now, and we have also started commercializing our products in different European countries, in USA and in Japan.

Our work has been awarded with different prizes in Spain, among which we can mention:

• Meridiana 1999 given by the Andalusian Women Institute
• Best Food Spanish Industry 2006, Category Women in the business world, given by the Agriculture, Fishing and Food Ministry
• Best Women's Initiative 2008, given by the Regional Agricultural and Fishing Ministry, Junta de Andalucía.
