Orlando Fried Tomato Sauce (Tomate Frito)

Orlando is an iconic Spanish food brand, best known for its 'Tomate Frito' (fried tomato sauce), a staple in Spanish kitchens since the mid-20th century. The brand's signature recipe involves a slow-fry process with oil, garlic, and onions, which distinguishes it from standard tomato purees.

Originally founded in 1922 in Alfaro, La Rioja, as a fish canning company, Orlando transitioned to vegetable preserves and eventually became the market leader in tomato products in Spain. Today, the products are primarily manufactured in their factory in Alfaro, maintaining a strong connection to their Spanish heritage and local agricultural sourcing.

While Orland is deeply rooted in Spanish culture, it is currently owned by the American multinational Kraft Heinz. This acquisition integrated the local Spanish favorite into one of the world's largest food and beverage portfolios, combining traditional Mediterranean recipes with global distribution and quality standards.
