About FINCA LA ROSALA

My name is Pedro Ciudad Imedio, founder of Finca La Rosala, which was born mainly because of the passion I have had since childhood for “panchitos”, the name given to peanuts in our region and roasted by my neighbor “Angelito”, a member of an artisan family that has been roasting dried fruits in a wood oven since the beginning of the 19th century. One day, while I was in my office, I went to buy my beloved “hot dogs”, when I arrived, “Angelito” was toasting them, and I couldn't help but watch how he did it, he noticed and asked me if I wanted to learn, I, of course, said yes, and he, delighted to be able to show me what he had done all his life, showed me all his tricks and secrets. At the same time, “Angelito” passed away, so one day, reflecting, I came to the conclusion that I could not leave these recipes in oblivion and I started roasting in my home oven. Little by little, I gave my friends the first “rolls” and I tried more nuts: almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews... In addition to adding innovative ingredients. The result was that all my friends were asking more and more of me, at the same time as word of mouth spread, word of mouth, to the friends of my friends and close people. Nowadays, after building a small roaster and teaching my wife and children to roast in this special way, Finca La Rosala has modern facilities in Calzada de Calatrava and has numerous established customers.Read their story
