Consum Picatostes Fritos al Aroma de Ajo

These garlic-flavored croutons are a private-label product offered by Consum, a prominent Spanish supermarket cooperative. Originally created to provide a crunchy accompaniment to soups and salads, the product is primarily manufactured in Spain to serve its local retail network.

Consum was founded in 1975 in Valencia as a consumer cooperative and has grown into one of the largest retail entities in the Mediterranean region. As a cooperative, it is owned by its worker-members and customer-members rather than a traditional corporate conglomerate, allowing it to focus on regional distribution and local production within Spain.
