"Despaña has always been the bridge connecting Spain’s greatest culinary edibles with the always hungry American consumer, especially chefs. They are a constant source of motivation for me, offering the best of the best, and reminding me of how great the Iberian food and wine landscape is"

Anthony Sasso - Executive Chef at La Sirena Ristorante

"By telling the story of Spain through our country’s farmers, our cheeses, our spice and winemakers, Marcos and Angelica have done something that is very powerful. More than simply shopkeepers and importers, they are our gastronomic ambassadors"

Jose Andrés - Founder, World Central Kitchen

"The place to go to source high quality spanish products. Reliable, consistent and always improving their catalogue"

Jean Francois Bruel - Executive Chef at Daniel

"I'm so fortunate to have had the support of Despaña over the years. The quality and diversity of their products is only surpassed by the incredible dedication to their customers. They do business the old fashion way, making sure that what they carry is exceptional and who they work with are well taken care of! Not only are they a key purveyor for my businesses, but the Despaña family have become great friends"

"We love them for their products and their high standards"

Alex Raij - Chef Owner of Txikito, El Quinto Pino and La Vara

"The Spainophile in New York knows there’s only one place where you can get all of the things Spanish. And that place is Despaña. They really know what’s up. At Despaña, you can find a ton of authentic Spanish products, from conservas to wine to tortilla Española… they even have Vichy sparkling water from Cataluña and Mahou cerveza"
