You are in Company History History Location Quality commitment COMPANY More than 100 years of history define the trajectory of this family business, which, thanks to the effort and work of its creators, became one of the most important bakeries in Cantabria and today a benchmark company in the sector. In 1909, the marriage formed by Aquilina Gutiérrez Sánchez and Manuel Fernández González founded the bakery “El Horno San José”. Those beginnings entailed a lot of sacrifice, because at that time all the bakery work was manual and the day began at dawn and some days ended at 12 o'clock at night. Thanks to the work, effort and perseverance of this family, the Horno San Jose bakery quickly achieved a production of 5,000 kilos of bread a day, which required 4,000 kilos of flour and which was distributed around the Besaya region with horse drawn carts , until late in the 1950s they began to use delivery vans. The bakery Horno San José became the most important bakery in Cantabria in terms of production volume. Manuel died at the age of 54 and his wife, Aquilina, bravely faced the full weight of the business. Soon his son, Manuel, took command of the bakery and María de los Ángeles, the eldest of the sisters, did the same with the confectionery, born a few years earlier. Shortly after the Civil War arrived, the bakery was intervened by the Popular Front to control the supply of the population of the Besaya area. Thanks to their entrepreneurial eagerness and their love of work, the Fernández Gutiérrez family, led by their two oldest children, started a confectionery that, in their forties, got fully involved in the manufacture of chocolates. Little by little, the company expanded the business, manufacturing Gallo soup pasta and also distributing Gallina Blanca products.
