Some products carry with them not only flavor, but also a story of place, tradition, and craftsmanship. Nat Hey, a family company from the region of Alicante, embodies exactly that. Nestled in a Mediterranean finca surrounded by orchards, their fruits and vegetables are harvested with care and processed in the most natural way possible. The result: 100% natural products with 0% additives – a true natural luxury.
From Orchard to Glass: The Role of Dehydrated Fruits
For restaurants, bars, and chefs, dehydrated fruit is more than just garnish. Thin slices of lemon, lime, or blood orange bring an instant lift to cocktails, adding both visual appeal and aromatic depth. Behind the bar, they are practical, consistent, and elegant. In the kitchen, they can be used to decorate, enhance, or finish a dish with a natural Mediterranean touch.
Tradition Meets Innovation
What makes Nat Hey special is not only the variety of their products, but the philosophy behind them. Each piece of fruit or vegetable is grown under the Spanish sun, harvested at the right moment, and carefully dehydrated to preserve its essence. This is not about industrial processing – it is about honoring tradition, while offering chefs a modern, reliable ingredient to work with.
A Taste of Spain at SIAL Paris
In October 2024, De Todo Agency had the privilege to be invited by Nat Hey SL to their stand at the SIAL food exhibition in Paris (19–23 October). There, we had the opportunity to see, taste, and explore their entire range of dehydrated fruits and vegetables: from vibrant citrus wheels to sweet potato crisps and vegetable mixes. It was a wonderful experience, and a chance to connect with the vision of Tomás Llinares, owner of this inspiring Spanish company.
For chefs and mixologists, products like these are more than ingredients – they are tools to create memorable guest experiences. With 100% natural, 0% additives, and the heritage of Alicante behind them, Nat Hey’s dehydrated fruits and vegetables bring the essence of Mediterranean luxury straight into your kitchen and bar.
