Specialty Spanish Food Purveyor, Natalia
Cabrera, Talks About Olive Oil, Passion for High Quality Food and Owning Her
Own Food Business
Natalia Cabrera speaks about being a woman
owned business, passion for olive oil and the brand she built.
New York, NY - February 17, 2016 - (Newswire.com)
The company, Khayyan (which
is the Arabic name for the city of Jaen, Spain meaning crossroads of trade),
founded by Natalia Cabrera was born in 2013 out of pure passion for high
quality basic foods driven by her deep knowledge of and experience with the
large variety of extra virgin olive oils of Spain. A native of Spain, Natalia,
working in international finance in New York recognized over years of business
travel and family visits to her home country that there was a lack of genuine
and authentic high quality olive oil supplied to
restaurants in New York. Being a foodie her mission was simple; bring the best
extra virgin olive juice from Spain.
With the NYIOOC gold award winning brand Olivar Santamaria, Natalia brings pure extra virgin olive
oil from Spain without blending with oils from other countries. Maintaining the
integrity of the olive oil is essential, Khayyan does
not mix the olive oil with low cost oils to increase profit margins. As a
purveyor of fine quality olive oils her company seeks out the best single
varietal Picual extra virgin olive oil and imports
her products directly to U.S. chefs and gourmet stores. Natalia does grassroots
market research by asking chefs and restaurant owners about the olive oil they
use and how Olivar Santamaria can make improvements
in their kitchens.
Does a woman owned business supplying
predominantly men owned and run kitchens sounds tough? Natalia has a simple
philosophy: "Starting a food business has great many challenges, you wonder if
it's the right kitchen or the right tastes that your food products may satisfy?
The struggles are daily in the gritty restaurant world but you realize that the
only obstacle is not going for it and recognizing that everyone should consume
high quality food products."
Living a long healthy life consuming
ingredients satisfying the senses by bringing the essence of the Mediterranean
diet is what founder Natalia has a passion for and with Khayyan
and Olivar Santamaria she brings that passion to her
extra virgin olive oil consumers.
Natalia and Olivar
Santamaria olive oil was recently featured on the "Michelle Jerson's
Passport: Taste, Travel and Live Well!" on AM 970 The Answer.
