Every August, Alfarnatejo hosts one of the most flavour-packed events in southern Spain: the Fiesta del Gazpacho. This isn’t just a soup; it’s a tradition. Locals prepare their famous "Gazpacho de los Tres Golpes" by hand—chopping every ingredient to perfection. No blenders, no shortcuts, just centuries of skill and a lot of tomatoes.

La Vieja Fábrica: Almost 200 Years of Flavor in a Jar

Since 1834, La Vieja Fábrica in Morón de la Frontera (Seville) has been all about one thing: jam, made the old-fashioned way. This family-run brand puts tradition first, using the same recipes for nearly two centuries. Each jar is a tribute to care, craftsmanship, and the honest taste of fruit at its best.
Where Heritage Means Homemade
At La Vieja Fábrica, nothing gets rushed. Every batch of jam is made with attention, using fruit that’s handpicked for quality. The textures are rich, the colors are vibrant, and the aroma? Just like in grandma’s kitchen. This is what happens when you don’t cut corners.
What makes this brand stand out isn’t just the fruit or the process. It’s the legacy. The art of jam-making has been passed down through generations, and you can taste that history in every spoonful.
Classic Recipes With a Modern Twist
Tradition is key, but that doesn’t mean things stay stuck in the past. La Vieja Fábrica has expanded its range with new product lines that meet today’s tastes. Think “Diet” for fewer calories, “Cocina Selecta” for extra flavor, and “Cero” for zero sugar.
They’ve kept their soul, just added more ways to enjoy it. Innovation and tradition now go hand in hand.
A Simple Moment, Made Special
With La Vieja Fábrica, even a basic breakfast feels like a treat. Their jams add warmth, richness, and that little something extra to your table. Whether it’s on toast, in a dessert, or straight from the spoon, the flavor speaks for itself.
Because this brand isn’t just about jam. It’s about preserving the feeling of home. And after 190 years, that feeling is still going strong.
