Hacendado Harina Fina de Maíz

Hacendado Harina Fina de Maíz (Fine Corn Flour/Corn Starch) is a private-label product developed for the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona. While the Hacendado brand is deeply rooted in Spanish retail culture, this specific corn starch product is manufactured in Germany for the chain, as indicated by its packaging and industry databases.

The Hacendado brand was launched by Mercadona in 1996 as part of its strategy to offer high-quality, price-competitive products. Mercadona itself was founded in 1977 by Francisco Roig Ballester and Trinidad Alfonso Mocholí, evolving from a small family butcher shop into Spain's largest physical and online supermarket chain. The brand operates under a 'Total Quality' model, often partnering with specialized international suppliers to ensure product standards while maintaining lower price points for consumers across Spain and Portugal.
