Hacendado Dark Chocolate

Hacendado is the well-known private label brand for food products from the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona. The product shown, based on the barcode 8480000495024 and visible packaging details, is a variety of dark chocolate.

Historically, Mercadona has partnered with various specialized manufacturers to produce its Hacendado line. For its chocolate products, the primary manufacturer is often the Spanish company Imperial (located in Portugal for some lines) or more frequently Sanchis Mira, based in Jijona, Alicante. The packaging indicates distribution and handling across the Iberian Peninsula, specifically mentioning locations in Murcia, Spain, and Sintra, Portugal. As a private label, while the brand is owned by Mercadona, the manufacturing is outsourced to local Spanish industrial leaders in the confectionery sector. Mercadona remains a family-owned Spanish company and one of the largest food retailers in Europe.
