Herdez Olives

The product shown is a jar of Herdez olives, a staple brand in the Mexican food market. Although Herdez is a quintessentially Mexican brand, many of its olive products are imported, as indicated by the 'Producto de España' (Product of Spain) marking on the label, highlighting the international sourcing for specific ingredients like Manzanilla olives.

Herdez was founded in Monterrey, Mexico, in 1914 by Ignacio Hernández del Castillo. Over the decades, it evolved from a distribution company into one of the most prominent food producers in the country. Currently, the brand is managed under Grupo Herdez, a major multi-national corporation headquartered in Mexico City. Grupo Herdez operates through various strategic alliances and subsidiaries, maintaining its status as a leader in the processed food sector in Mexico and an important player in the Hispanic food market in the United States and beyond.
