Hacendado Almendra Tostada con Sal

Hacendado Almendra Tostada con Sal is a popular roasted and salted almond snack sold exclusively by the Spanish supermarket giant, Mercadona. The product is identifiable by its Hacendado private label, which was introduced by Mercadona in the late 1990s to provide high-quality essential goods at competitive prices. These almonds are traditionally sourced and processed in Spain, specifically in the Valencian Community, adhering to strict quality standards that emphasize flavor and crunch.

The manufacturing is specialized and handled by Importaco Casa Pons, a long-standing strategic partner and "inter-provider" for Mercadona. Based in Beniparrell, Valencia, Importaco is one of Europe's largest distributors and processors of nuts and snacks. While the brand Hacendado is owned by Mercadona S.A., the production infrastructure remains deeply rooted in the Spanish agricultural sector, ensuring that the majority of the supply chain stays local.

As of 2026, the brand continues to be under the ultimate ownership of Mercadona S.A., a family-owned multinational retail corporation led by Juan Roig. The company maintains a vertically integrated model, working closely with Spanish manufacturers like Importaco to control everything from origin to shelf, which has solidified its position as the market leader in the Iberian Peninsula.
