Iberia food products

Brand History and Origin

Iberia is a heritage brand within the Hispanic foods sector, established in the United States to serve the Caribbean and Latin American diaspora. It was originally founded in New York in 1978. The brand began by sourcing authentic ingredients such as rice, beans, and olive oil to cater to the tastes of consumers looking for traditional flavors from their home countries.

Manufacturing and Global Sourcing

Iberia products are sourced and manufactured in multiple countries depending on the specific commodity. For instance, their olive oils are typically imported from Spain, while grains like rice and various types of beans are sourced from the United States, South America, and the Caribbean to ensure high quality and authenticity. This global supply chain allows them to maintain a diverse portfolio of over 1,000 SKUs.

Ownership and Distribution

Today, Iberia Foods Corp. is a major manufacturer and distributor. The brand is currently owned by the corporate conglomerate Iberia Foods Corp., which operates under the umbrella of larger private equity or corporate management structures depending on the specific international market. It remains a cornerstone of the Brooklyn-based food distribution landscape, managing its own logistics and warehouse facilities across the Eastern United States.
