LA DESPENSA DE PALACIO

La Despensa de Palacio is a family-owned artisan pastry workshop and chocolate maker based in Estepa, southern Spain, where craftsmanship, heritage and innovation naturally coexist. Our history traces back to 1743, when the family began working as bakers for the Marquis of Estepa, laying the foundations of a tradition that continues today.

Founded in 1991 in its current form, the company produces a wide range of pastries, biscuits, polvorones and chocolate specialties, all crafted using time-honoured recipes and carefully selected ingredients sourced from their places of origin. Only noble raw materials are used, ensuring authenticity, flavour and consistency. La Despensa de Palacio is also the only chocolate maker in Andalusia working directly from cocoa beans. In collaboration with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the company has developed the first cocoa plantation in Europe, reinforcing its commitment to research, sustainability and innovation.

While remaining faithful to its artisanal roots, the company continues to evolve, investing in new developments and advanced technologies. This allows the creation of complementary product ranges with optimised production processes, without ever compromising ingredient quality or the high standards that define our work.

La Despensa de Palacio creates products with soul, designed to awaken memories, convey emotion and deliver authentic taste.
