el origen Information

El origen means "the origin" — and ours is in Latin America. We are a Hamburg-based food scale-up bringing organic, authentic snacks from Latin America to conscious consumers across Europe. Our plantain chips, cassava chips, and snack lines are made from ingredients grown by smallholder cooperatives in Ecuador & Peru — sourced directly, with full transparency from farm to shelf. Founded in 2020, el origen is now available in 5+ European markets including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Spain. Our products are certified organic, vegan, gluten-free, and fair trade — and every bag represents a choice for regenerative farming and fair livelihoods for farming families. What makes us different: — Direct trade partnerships with smallholder cooperatives (no middlemen) — Full supply chain transparency from plantation to retail shelf — Expanding European retail footprint: DACH, France, Spain, Poland — Purpose-driven brand with measurable social and environmental impact — Backed by experienced FMCG team We work with retail partners, distributors, and impact investors who believe that good food should be fair, transparent, and connected to where it comes from.
