Revista Alimentaria

What Revista Alimentaria does

Revista Alimentaria, legally EDICIONES Y PUBLICACIONES ALIMENTARIAS, S.A., is a Madrid-headquartered Spanish trade publishing company founded in 1964. Its flagship product is a B2B magazine covering food safety, quality, innovation, health, and food legislation across the full food supply chain — spanning agriculture, livestock, fishing, food manufacturing, distribution, logistics, HORECA, and consumer-facing topics. The company operates an annual print and digital subscription (10 consecutive issues per year) and runs a multi-channel editorial platform including a website, sector-specific newsletters covering more than 14 food verticals, video content, opinion and interview sections, and event coverage of major Spanish food industry trade shows.

The company monetizes through three primary streams: recurring magazine subscriptions, recurring access to its specialized digital services (most notably the Legalimentaria certified legislation portal covering European, Spanish, and autonomous community food law for compliance audits), and advertising sold to food industry brands and organizations. Its portfolio extends beyond the core publication into adjacent assets: Legalimentaria (a regulatory database sub-brand), Consumidora (a consumer-facing sub-brand covering nutrition and gastronomy), and Pharma Market (an adjacent vertical trade publication covering the pharmaceutical industry). The company maintains a scientific advisory committee and coverage alliances with IFEMA MADRID for major industry events, and operates with a workforce of 11–50 employees out of Madrid, Spain. No external investors, acquisitions, or capital raises are disclosed in the source material; the company is privately held as a Spanish Sociedad Anónima.
