The Origin of Sabores del Guijo – Casa Alonso

The history of Guijo flavors goes hand in hand with the history of a village, Guijo de Santa Barbara.

“Oral tradition tells us that Viriatus was the son of these lands, and that he walked through them until he began his struggle against the Romans.

The first written data makes us think that this village was founded around 1400, and that it belonged to Jarandilla until its independence in 1816.”

Rarely has a taste been so linked to a town or a town to a taste. The town of Guijo de Santa Bárbara has one of the most picturesque enclaves in the region due to its location under the protection of the sierra de Gredos and its traditional serrana architecture.

The taste is the Glory, a liqueur that they make their neighbors since time immemorial, long before it was put out of fashion the shots, the herbs or limoncillos, for their own consumption in the traditional celebrations or family celebrations, your basis is the must of grapes, and has a sweet taste and pleasant.

Our family started to make it and sell it to the public as it was very much demanded and valued by travelers who have always come to visit Guijo, this was the beginning, then came other liqueurs all made with spirits and local fruits ( raspberry, cherry, Gooseberry, etc. )

And hence the leap to the production of jams, currently up to 25 different, some traditional, others obtained after hard research work such as Pepper, pumpkin, onion, carrot

Since 1980 you can find a wide range of products in our company flavours del Guijo-Casa Alonso, which we created and managed through its founder Alonso de la Calle García, a family business that has passed from generation to generation, in which most of the fruits are of their own harvest, and which manufactures artisanal products using First quality fruits and vegetables, marketing them in our Guijo shops, and distributing them also at national and international level.

Aware of the interest of the current consumer in bringing to his table healthy, natural and high quality food, in addition to the traditional products we already produced, we have developed new lines of high-end products such as: quince, sugar-free jams and fruit and vegetable vinegar.
