A few days ago, specifically on January 16, World Croquette Day was celebrated. A date in which this small delicacy so typical of Spanish home cooking is honored and for which Mercadona saw its demand for this product increase. One of the most acclaimed by the customers of the chain, which, however, would not be possible without a large company behind it.
Croquettes of ham, chicken, stew or, in recent times, even ingredients never thought of before to place on this tasty dough of bechamel and breadcrumbs. A product that is always linked to home cooking, in memory of the best recipes of grandmothers, but which is increasingly found in conventional supermarkets.
Due to the long cooking process that it takes to make a croquette well, as well as the difficult skill required, the chains with the greatest presence in Spain have opted to always have these among their frozen products. Some croquettes that are increasingly of higher quality… although always far from the homemade ones.
This is how Mercadona croquettes are
For this reason, among the best of the supermarkets, those offered by Mercadona under its white brand Hacendado stand out. In up to seven varieties, five of them (ham, chicken, spinach, mushrooms and hake and prawns) bear the seal of the same supplier.
, a company specializing in the manufacture of precooked and frozen dishes, is on this occasion the trusted partner of the chain led by Juan Roig. From its base in Parets del Vallés (Barcelona), this company has led the frozen food sector since the tradition of being born in 1975, which has led to a great knowledge of the market for pre-cooked dishes.
Leader in precooked meals and frozen snacks, Audens Food has four plants throughout Spain
With three plants in the province of Barcelona and one more in Zamora, Audens Foods offers a wide range of products, among which stand out, in addition to croquettes, dumplings, potatoes or chicken strips. In addition, it has several brands (Prielá, Frinca, Quinta Base…) brought together under the same group that give the company greater expansion to offer its dishes beyond Mercadona.
Another of the successful relationships of the Valencian chain that trusts in this way the vast majority of its catalog of croquettes to this Catalan company. A product, the croquette, increasingly in demand due to the intense efforts that producers like this one seek every day to continue offering greater quality to the customer.
