Hacendado Chocolate (Imperial)

This product is a private label confectionery item sold under the Hacendado brand. While Hacendado is the house brand of the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona, this specific product is manufactured in Portugal by Imperial - Produtos Alimentares, S.A.

Mercadona, headquartered in Valencia, Spain, is one of the leading physical and online supermarket chains in the country. They often partner with specialized 'inter-providers' across Europe to produce high-quality private label goods. In this case, the chocolate is produced by Imperial, a major Portuguese chocolate manufacturer with a historical presence in the industry. The ultimate ownership of Mercadona remains with the Roig family in Spain.
