INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION - With our compliments. We believe that when something worths doing, it worths doing well, for this reason, we are involved since 1882 in the world of summer ice-cream campaigns and winter artisan nougat production. We always try to choose the best possible quality raw materials at the moment, making then an effort at the time of reaching our goals... the results are obvious and we think are just at sight, trying this humble homesite to be both the proof of the cake and the vehicle that allows us to thank our dearest and devote clientele in first place the warm predilection for the things we do. It is just for this reason, we would like to contribute a bit more to our way of thinking, offering our products through this means in order to let you feel at ease at the time of buying, at the same time we share a common way of communication and contact. Thank you very much indeed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IN THE BEGINNING

Around the year 1882 José Verdú set up in Gijon and started running a shop situated at number 10 in Moros street where alternated ice cream making and nougat selling.
José Verdu's heir, Federico Verdu (his son), and later on his nephew Francisco Arques and then his son and daughter, Mª Ángeles and Francisco Arques Simon have followed the tradition in the same premises totally refurbished and modernized, combining the fact of making a great effort and intelligence and bettering even the prestige the enterprise had since the beginning improving what it could be improved and conserving what it should be conserved in order to have nowadays a great trademark called Verdu whose name is always renowed worldwide due to the quality of its products.
