The consortium provides consolidated multi-product shipments under a single invoice and customs clearance. It is seeking distributors and gourmet food importers for commercial distribution agreements. - Full Description - Established in 2015, this export consortium brings together five artisan food producers located in northern Spain. Each company specializes in premium regional food products, combining traditional manufacturing heritage with modern international quality and food safety standards. The consortium’s export catalogue comprises: • Fresh and processed organic blueberries, certified under EU organic farming standards. • Artisan Cantabrian anchovy fillets and Cantabrian white tuna (Bonito del Norte), hand-prepared using traditional curing methods. • Traditional Dairy and Frozen Specialities: including yogurts, traditional desserts (rice pudding, custard), artisan fruit compotes, quince paste, and frozen gourmet croquettes. • Picón Bejes-Tresviso Blue Cheese, protected by European PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) certification, aged in natural mountain limestone caves. • Pure chocolates and cocoa specialities: traditional Spanish drinking chocolate, single-origin bars, sugar-free options with Marcona almonds, couverture, and instant cocoa. The consortium addresses a major challenge faced by foreign gourmet importers: the administrative and logistical burden of sourcing small quantities of niche products from multiple artisan producers. By centralizing management, the consortium allows international buyers to order mixed pallets or container loads across multiple categories, with consolidated transport, a single commercial invoice, unified documentation, and full compliance with the destination country’s sanitary and labelling regulations. The objective of this international partnership is to establish stable, medium- to long-term commercial relationships to expand distribution into high-end retail, delicatessen networks, and premium HORECA channels in foreign markets. - Advantages and Innovations - • Consolidated single-source purchasing: International clients access five specialized artisan food product lines through one commercial interlocutor, enabling mixed orders without bearing multi-supplier minimum order quantities (MOQs). • Streamlined logistics and administration: One single order, one consolidated transport management, one invoice, and unified export

customs documentation, significantly reducing freight, customs, and administrative costs. • Certified quality and traceability: Authentic regional specialities backed by official certifications, such as EU Organic Certification and European Protected Designation of Origin (PDO Picón Bejes-Tresviso). • Regulatory compliance: Pre-adapted labelling and regulatory support tailored to meet the sanitary and import requirements of the destination country. • Established export track record: Over nine years of collaborative export management and regular presence at leading European food trade fairs. - Stage of Development - Already on the market - Sustainable Development Goals - Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being - Goal 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal - Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production - Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth - IPR status - Secret know-how Partner Sought - Expected Role of a Partner - The consortium is looking for distributors, importers, or commercial agents specialized in high-end, delicatessen, or organic food products.

HORECA sector in their country or region. • Possess appropriate temperature-controlled logistics and warehousing facilities (dry, chilled at +2°C

+4°C, and frozen storage at -18°C) to handle delicate artisan dairy, cured, and seafood products. • Be responsible for regional market promotion, product placement, and client order management under a Commercial Distribution Agreement. - Type and Size of Partner - SME <=10 - Big company - SME 50 - 249 - Other - SME 11-49 - Type of partnership - Commercial agreement Dissemination - Market keywords - 07003002 - Health food - 07006 - Other Consumer Related (not elsewhere classified) - 09005 - Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, Animal Husbandry & Related Products - Sector Groups Involved - Agri-Food - Targeted countries - All countries
