SANTO TOMAS
Arrocerías Antonio Tomás, a family business founded in 1962 by Antonio Tomás, today preserves the values of quality and direct contact with farmers and customers, instilled by its founders, with the aim of combining innovation, respect for the environment and market requirements with tradition in the production of rice exclusively grown in Spain.
Located in Sollana, within the Albufera Natural Park, she is a great connoisseur and defender of Valencian rice in its different varieties. Hence, his participation as an active member of the Regulatory Council of the Denomination of Origin Arroz de Valencia.
Antonio Tomás comes from a family of farmers in Catarroja, who over the years went on to set up a small mill in which he blanched rice for his consumption and that of other farmers, family and friends. It was in 1962 when, together with his wife Maruja Primo, he created the Santo Tomas brand, going from packaging unbranded rice, most of it in 50 kg bags. to give a better presentation and more formats in order to reach more audiences.
From the beginning they supported typically Valencian rice dishes, such as the Bomba, Bahia, Senia, etc. varieties, in the same way they are part of the Regulatory Council of the Denomination of Origin Rice of Valencia since its establishment until today.
In 2003, the second generation moved the facilities to Sollana, acquiring new brands and expanding its production capacity.
In their eagerness to publicize the excellence of Valencian rice dishes, they attend various International Fairs, Anuga in Germany, Sial in France, Fancy Food in the United States, Gulfood in Dubai, etc., without forgetting the National Market at the Salon de Gourmet Fairs held in Madrid and Alimentaria in Barcelona.
Currently we can find the rice dishes prepared by Arrocerías Antonio Tomas, S.L. in the kitchens of the 5 continents.
From the birth of its first brand SANTO TÀMÁS to the present day, the Valencian values of TRADITION AND QUALITY instilled by its founders have been maintained.
