Standardized botanical proteins, functional gummies, high-purity amino acids, and sports nutrition lines designed for the European and Iberian commercial markets.
Spain has emerged as one of Europe’s fastest-accelerating hubs for plant-based nutrition. Driven by an expanding flexitarian demographic (now exceeding 30% of the adult population), consumer preference across Spain—from Catalonia and Madrid to Andalusia—has shifted rapidly from traditional animal-derived proteins to clean-label, plant-based alternatives. Sourcing managers and brand owners targeting Spanish retail channels (such as Mercadona, Carrefour España, and specialized herbolarios) face stringent demands regarding texture, allergen transparency, and organoleptic properties.
Primary commercial intent in Spain focuses heavily on allergen-free (sin alérgenos), soy-free (sin soja), and non-GMO (sin OGM) plant protein isolates. Spanish consumers traditionally demand superior taste profiles; thus, raw plant proteins containing heavy earthy notes, high astringency, or chalky mouthfeel fail in retail consumer testing. Sourcing from certified, technologically advanced factories capable of low-grit wet fractionation and micro-encapsulation is no longer optional—it is a baseline entry requirement for the Iberian peninsula.
Additionally, regulatory oversight enforced by AESAN (Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición) requires precise documentation regarding heavy metal thresholds, pesticide residues, and microbiological safety. Importers and brand owners require manufacturing partners that deliver full European Union regulatory dossiers alongside every bulk order.
Our OEM/ODM manufacturing facilities operate under strict GMP, HACCP, and ISO 22000 standards. By leveraging state-of-the-art physical isolation technologies, we supply Spanish and European brands with plant proteins that match whey in solubility and amino acid completeness.
Traditional raw pea or soy proteins carry native lipoxygenase activity, imparting a bitter, grassy off-note. Our proprietary enzymatic hydrolysis neutralizes off-flavors without chemical solvents, yielding a neutral taste profile optimal for Spanish RTD beverages and RTM powders.
Single-source plant proteins often lack complete essential amino acid (EAA) coverage. We engineer blended systems—such as Yellow Pea Isolate combined with Rice Protein Isolate or Pumpkin Seed Protein—to achieve a Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0.
Mouthfeel is the primary driver of repeat consumer purchases in Spain. Our ultra-fine air-classification and micronization milling reduce particle sizes below 40 microns, eliminating the sandiness common in low-tier botanical powders.

Custom formulation strategies engineered specifically to align with Iberian retail demands and regional manufacturing formats.
Combining plant protein isolates with micro-encapsulated Creatine Monohydrate and plant-based BCAAs. Formulated with instantized sunflower lecithin for effortless mixing in hand shakers—ideal for gym-goers, marathoners, and padel athletes across Spain.
Modern consumers in Spain are shifting toward pill-free supplement formats. We produce high-purity Creatine and botanical extract gummies using pectin-based matrices (100% gelatin-free/vegan) that maintain thermal stability under hot Mediterranean summer shipping conditions.
Utilizing high-solubility Fava Bean and Pea Isolates to enrich plant-based beverages (Almond, Oat, and Tigernut/Horchata) without destabilizing UHT pasteurization processes or leaving heavy sediment in retail packaging.
Heat-stable plant protein concentrates optimized for water retention and crumb structure in high-protein bakery lines, energy cookies, and snack bars destined for Spanish convenience store chains.
Navigating food safety regulations within the European Union requires absolute transparency. Our quality control framework guarantees that every consignment shipped into Spanish territory complies with both national AESAN mandates and broader EU directives.
Our Marya Professional Formulation & Manufacturing System provides automated batch traceability from raw botanical harvest to final packaged SKU. Each shipment is accompanied by detailed analytical documentation from independent accredited laboratories.
Full Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Technical Data Sheets (TDS), and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provided prior to shipment dispatch.
Technical and commercial clarity regarding shipping, customs, custom formulations, and minimum order requirements.
For ready-to-brand stock formulas (such as bulk plant protein powders or standard capsules), our flexible MOQ starts at 500 units per SKU. For fully custom OEM formulations (custom flavor profiles, unique botanical blends, specialized gummy shapes), production MOQs generally start at 1,000 to 3,000 units depending on raw material sourcing parameters.
We provide full DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) or DAP (Delivered at Place) logistics solutions directly to your warehouse in Spain (e.g., Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville). All products carry complete EU-compliant documentation, customs tariff classification codes (HS Codes), and health certificates to ensure seamless entry through Spanish ports and border controls.
Yes. Our regulatory team reviews all product specifications against Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (Food Information to Consumers) and Spanish national AESAN notifications. We assist in formatting nutrition tables, allergen declarations (in Spanish/Castilian), and validating permitted nutrition claims (e.g., "Alto contenido de proteínas").
Absolutely. Flavor perception varies regionally across Europe. Our R&D application laboratory specializes in creating natural flavor systems tailored to Spanish consumer preferences—including Mediterranean Chocolate, Natural Vanilla Bean, Iberian Hazelnut, Horchata/Cinnamon, and Unflavored Neutral variants for culinary integration.
For stock private-label products, manufacturing and label application take approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Custom formulation ODM projects—which include pilot bench testing, organoleptic refinement, and packaging printing—typically require 4 to 6 weeks from final sign-off to dispatch.
Yes. Every batch undergoes strict ELISA testing to verify that gluten content is below 20 ppm (EU Gluten-Free standard) and that cross-contact with soy or milk protein is completely absent. Analytical certificates are issued alongside every shipment.
