Our story

A lifetime devoted to preserving.

Hijos de José Gomariz López is a family business from El Raal, in the Murcia farmland. We have been making canned artichokes and tomatoes since 1970, a legacy carried on today by the third generation.

Our plant sits in a privileged spot in the Murcia farmland, surrounded by some of the best growing areas in the region. This location gives us a direct supply of raw materials, so produce is harvested and processed in the shortest possible time, guaranteeing the freshness, quality and flavour of our products.

More than five decades of experience have taught us that quality starts with the raw material. That is why we carefully select produce from our own land and keep improving our processes and facilities, without giving up the essence of traditional production.

With our own brand, La Orquídea de Gomariz, and as manufacturers for private labels, we have become a benchmark in canned artichokes and tomatoes.

We keep moving forward to offer solutions tailored to today’s market, combining innovation and experience without losing the essence, the values and the roots that have been with us since 1970.

How we work

From field to can in hours.

Within a few hours, the raw produce travels straight from the field to our canning plant, stopping the oxidation clock and keeping all of the vegetable’s properties and original freshness intact.

Step 1

Intake and testing

Every batch is tested on arrival and coded so it can be traced all the way to the can.

Quality

Every can with its own batch.

At our factory, quality means absolute respect for the product and for the trust of those who choose us.

To guarantee the highest standards, we combine our canning tradition with technical rigour. We run a strict HACCP system (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) that monitors every stage of production, from the arrival of the raw produce to the finished product. The result is honest, safe, superior-quality preserves.
