Hacendado Caocream biscuits

Hacendado Caocream is a popular private-label chocolate sandwich cookie produced for the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona. These biscuits, which are widely recognized as an alternative to the Oreo brand, consist of two cocoa-flavored wafers with a sweet vanilla cream filling.

The brand Hacendado was launched in 1993 by Mercadona to offer high-quality products at competitive prices. The Caocream variety is manufactured by Cerealto Siro Foods (formerly Grupo Siro), a major Spanish agri-food company based in Palencia. Specifically, production facilities in Aguilar de Campoo and Venta de Baños are often cited as the primary manufacturing locations for these products.

Mercadona remains a family-owned Spanish company, with Juan Roig as its Chairman and CEO. The brand operates predominantly in Spain and Portugal, maintaining its reputation as a leader in the retail distribution sector through its 'Totaler' supplier model, which involves long-term partnerships with specialized manufacturers.
