Asturcilla\u2019s history is a collective story.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Asturcilla fue desde el primer d\u00eda un proyecto colectivo: en primer lugar surge la idea de elaborar productos con avellana asturiana a ra\u00edz del trabajo realizado por Gabitu, el Grupo de Trabajo sobre el Avellano del Centro de Desarrollo Rural El Prial.<\/p>\n

A partir de ah\u00ed y despu\u00e9s de hacer unas cuantas pruebas hasta dar con el sabor que dese\u00e1bamos,\u00a0 empezamos a elaborarla un grupo de 4 personas, que luego se uni\u00f3 con el catering de comida ecol\u00f3gica Con-Fusi\u00f3n Comidas para formar la cooperativa que somos actualmente, Kikiricoop S. Coop Astur. Mediante el proyecto \u00a0Asturcilla intentamos aprovechar la producci\u00f3n local de avellana , un cultivo cada vez m\u00e1s abandonado en nuestro entorno a pesar de su gran valor ambiental y nutritivo.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

We are part of Coop 57 Asturies, we work with local, organic and fair trade producers. We share the warehouse where we work with another local project (funginatur) and is powered by Som Energia.<\/p>\n

Asturcilla is somewhat the result of all these encounters and synergies, of the people who collaborated in the crowdfunding campaign with which we financed part of our production space, of the consumer groups and shops that supported us from the beginning, and of the collaboration with entities and projects in our geographical and biographical environment.<\/p>\n

By the way, we love having visitors. If you\u2019d like to come and meet us, you\u2019ll find all the details here (link)<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Our principles<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Organic<\/h3>\n

We make our cocoa cream with the planet in mind. We use organic ingredients, free from pesticides and chemicals, respecting natural cycles to offer you a healthy and honest product.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Rural<\/h3>\n

We are committed to revitalising the Asturian countryside. Our activity helps to keep villages alive, reviving local hazelnut crops and halting the decline of rural areas in our region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Fair<\/h3>\n

We believe in the social economy. We pay fair prices to producers and guarantee ethical working conditions. Because a sweet product should not leave a bitter taste in the mouths of those who produce it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Cooperative<\/h3>\n

We are not a large corporation; we are a cooperative<\/b>. We work in a horizontal and transparent manner, where people and the common good always come before financial gain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
