LC History
The history of the Cathedral of Navarra dates back to the first half of the last century. During the Spanish Civil War, the mothers of soldiers already preserved vegetables, stews and pâtés for their children, and in the post-war period it was also essential to save as much food as possible in season to have it available all year round. Preserves became something necessary and everyday, especially in regions such as the Navarrese riverside, where the fertile orchard provided exquisite products that were worth saving.

Petra López, grandmother of the current owner of La Catedral de Navarra, then started a small boat closing business in Mendavia, combining knowledge of the field with a marked entrepreneurial character. She and her family sealed with tin both their own preserved vegetables and those prepared in their homes by the townspeople. In the mid-40s they were already selling artichokes, tomatoes, peppers, white asparagus and leeks. Since then, all the family’s efforts have been directed towards obtaining the best vegetables and keeping their flavor intact, which has made La Catedral de Navarra a synonym for quality.
