Who are we?
Virgen del Brezo
We began our activity in 1958 in Santibáñez de la Peña, the same town where we have developed our business project and corporate philosophy for all these 66 years.
Puff pastries made in the Palentina Mountain.
Since 1958, in the heart of the Palentine Mountains, Virgen del Brezo has been a symbol of tradition, quality, and excellence. Specializing in the creation of exquisite puff pastries, we have taken our legacy beyond national borders, delighting palates across Europe.
Our history is one of dedication and passion. Each of our products is the result of decades of refinement and a profound respect for the recipes handed down from our land. We use top-quality raw materials, carefully selected to ensure that each bite is a memorable experience.
But at Virgen del Brezo, we don’t just make sweets; we create moments. We take pride in being part of your celebrations, accompanying your family gatherings, and adding a special touch to those everyday moments that become unforgettable with a little sweetness.
We are committed to our roots, our people, and our land. This commitment is reflected in every aspect of our company, from social responsibility to constant innovation in our products. We offer a variety that includes vegan options and sugar-free products, adapting to the needs and preferences of our customers.
Virgen del Brezo is more than a company; it is a living tradition, a passion felt in every puff pastry, and a purpose that drives us forward. We invite you to discover, taste, and share the excellence of our products.

Raw Materials and Production
At Virgen del Brezo, we select our raw materials with the utmost care to ensure we obtain top-quality ingredients. Adhering to the highest standards in this regard guarantees that our production processes, dedication, and excellence allow us to offer exceptional products.
Traditional Recipe
Our puff pastries are made with a blend of wheat flour, vegetable margarine, water, sugar, salt, and natural flavor. To achieve the perfect texture, we prepare a dough with flour, water, and salt, which is rolled out and covered with margarine. The dough is then folded over itself several times, creating thin layers sealed by the fat. These layers trap steam during baking, causing them to separate like the pages of a book, giving puff pastry its characteristic appearance.
While there are various recipes with different proportions of ingredients, at Virgen del Brezo we remain faithful to the recipes inherited from the pastry chefs of our region, proudly preserving them for over 50 years.
