It's tapas time

Carretilla is a leading brand in ambient salads and ready-to-eat dishes in microwaveable containers. It’s also known for its preserved vegetables and sauces.

The new line brings consumers three different varieties of this Spanish specialty: fried potatoes in spicy sauce, potatoes with allioli, and Spanish potato salad. This high-quality, fresh, natural and additive-free product can be eaten directly from the cup, at ambient temperature or heated in the microwave for only 30 seconds, thus recreating at home those entertaining moments with friends at the pub or at the café, at any time of the day.
