Helios Tomate Natural Triturado con Raf

Brand Origin and History

Helios is one of Spain's most iconic preserves and condiment brands, founded in 1901 by the Pérez family in Valladolid, Spain. Initially starting as an artisan confectionery and jam-making business, it gradually expanded into broader food preservation, including tomato sauces, pickled vegetables, and prepared dishes.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

Helios operates production centers across Spain, primarily centered in Castilla y León (Arroyo de la Encomienda, Valladolid) as well as facilities in Navarre and Extremadura. The brand emphasizes locally sourced agricultural goods, explicitly stating on this jar of crushed Raf tomato that the crops are cultivated in Andalusia and Extremadura.

Ownership

Helios remains managed under Grupo Helios (Dulces y Conservas Helios, S.A.), maintaining long-held domestic food manufacturing roots in Spain.
