Our history

Exquisitarium was founded in 2005 by chef Manel Regada and entrepreneur Sònia Plana with a clear objective: to fuse tradition and innovation to become the trusted gastronomic partner of the HORECA sector.

In 2008, we opened our facilities in Oliana (Lleida), which were expanded in 2017. From here, we produce more than 250 ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook products, as well as custom solutions for clients seeking exclusive offerings.

Exquisitarium - Que hacemos?

What we do

We specialize in premium frozen products that maintain the flavor, texture, and properties of traditional cuisine thanks to a cooking process using artisanal methods and immediate flash freezing at -18ºC, with no added preservatives. Our offering includes everything from appetizers to main courses, desserts, and sauces, with a dual benefit: In this way, we help hotels, restaurants, and catering companies save time and optimize costs without sacrificing creativity or culinary excellence.

Exquisitarium - Filosofía
At Exquisitarium, we understand that a good product stems not only from a good idea, but also from a constant commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation. Our product philosophy is based on four fundamental pillars:
Top quality ingredients

Exquisitarium sources top-quality raw materials, using the finest ingredients from our land to reproduce the flavors of traditional cuisine.

The essence of traditional cuisine is fundamental to us. For this reason, we work as a team to design the best recipes and prepare them using the most traditional methods adapted to modern times, using the finest raw materials to achieve the highest quality results. Each package embodies the essence of our work philosophy.

Immediately after preparation, without adding artificial preservatives, we flash-freeze the products, bringing them from a cooking temperature to -18ºC in a maximum of two hours.

This way, all the product’s flavor and texture are preserved.

To create our recipes, we pay attention to every detail and adhere to the strictest quality policies, following an optimal production process that preserves all their qualities.

We receive ongoing training, and our processes are audited internally and externally on a regular basis, with rigorous monitoring of good practices and HACCP.

We hold ISO 22000 quality certification, audited by Bureau Veritas.

A passion for cooking and entrepreneurship are the defining characteristics of our company.

With a long history and a strong presence throughout Spain, we export our products to various European countries, primarily targeting the HORECA sector, providing a wide range of solutions tailored to each market. These countries include Germany, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, Portugal, and Belgium, and we plan to consolidate our presence in France and the UK in the near future—countries with high consumption of ready-made meals.

Thanks to our ongoing investment in R&D and the expansion and modernization of our facilities, we can offer comprehensive, high-quality kitchen solutions with greater speed and improved service to our clients.
