What FRUTAS DEL FRAILE SL does

FRUTAS DEL FRAILE SL is a family-owned wholesale distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables based in A Coruña, Spain, operating under the legal entity DEL FRAILE FRUTAS Y VERDURAS, S.L. (CIF B70598016). Founded in 1955 by Baldomero del Fraile Otero and Josefina Álvarez in the old fruit market of A Coruña, the company is now managed by the third generation of the Del Fraile family (Javier Del Fraile, joined 1999, and Roberto Del Fraile, joined 2005). The current corporate entity was formally constituted in 1993. The business operates from stall number 5 at the Mercado Central de Frutas in the La Grela Bens industrial area of A Coruña, and the company's product portfolio is organized into two core lines: Frutas (fruits including cherries, strawberries, peaches, and oranges) and Hortalizas (vegetables). Supply is sourced from a network of exclusive distribution partners including recognized Spanish brands such as Fresón de Palos, Frutas Bollo, Valle del Jerte, and Villaconejos.

The company sells to B2B wholesale customers (retailers, restaurants, caterers, and food-service operators) nationally and internationally, leveraging a demand-driven supply model that emphasizes strict quality controls and rapid turnover to ensure freshness. Distribution channels consist of the physical market stall, a B2B direct-sales line for nationwide and international supply via logistics partners, and an online storefront (tienda.frutasdelfraile.com) running on a standard WordPress-based e-commerce platform. Pricing is not publicly listed and is negotiated directly with business customers. Marketing is limited to the company's website, recipe content, and a social media presence referenced in its privacy policy; no paid digital marketing programs are described.

The business is small and tightly held, with a headcount of 7 employees and no external investors, subsidiaries, or capital markets activity. It holds a Spanish sanitary registration (21.033933/C) and complies with GDPR and LOPDGDD for data protection. There are no documented patents, awards, AI/ML capabilities, funding rounds, or acquisitions, and no disclosed revenue figures.
