Hacendado Salsa de Tomate Datterino con Albahaca

This Datterino tomato sauce with basil is a private-label product sold under the Hacendado brand, which is the flagship food label for the Spanish supermarket chain Mercadona. Although Hacendado is a Spanish brand, Mercadona often partners with specialized international suppliers to ensure authentic flavors and quality for specific recipes.

In this particular case, the sauce is manufactured in Italy by an Italian specialist supplier, as indicated by the 'IT' identification code and the manufacturer's abbreviated details on the label. This allows the brand to offer an authentic Italian-style tomato sauce made with Datterino tomatoes, known for their sweetness. Currently, Mercadona continues to be a family-owned Spanish company, maintaining ultimate control over the Hacendado brand's distribution and product selection across its network in Spain and Portugal.
