Grandparents, olive oil and an idea from Barcelona
Behind the name lies no marketing invention, but a true family story: Paul and Pippa were the grandparents of founder Verónica Escuer, who baked cookies and crackers in their kitchen — with the best quality olive oil and ingredients from farmers they knew personally. Verónica, an economist with an MBA from ESADE Barcelona, decided not to let these recipes be forgotten. In 2015, she founded the company Paul & Pippa Gourmet Food S.L. in Barcelona — together with co-managing director Marc Moreno Rosell, an engineer with many years of experience in the food industry. The team spent two years reworking the old family recipes, developing new flavors and elevating everything to a modern, artisanal level.
Craftsmanship without shortcuts, ingredients without compromise
The small bakery is located in a district of Barcelona not far from the harbor. All products are created there in small batches, handmade and exclusively with Spanish extra virgin olive oil — the common foundation of every single recipe. Instead of using flavorings, preservatives or artificial colors, Paul & Pippa works with real fruits and vegetables: tomato, apple, lime, coconut, pure Ecuadorian cocoa, Manchego, Parmesan, tapenade. What is on the ingredient list also ends up in the dough — nothing more and nothing less. Many varieties from the main line "The Family" are organic certified; all products are vegan.
The second line, "The Chapter Collection", is aimed decidedly at cheese lovers: crackers designed as an accompaniment to different cheese styles, combining ingredients such as quinoa with black salt or smoked paprika. The packaging design — each tin features its own character with its own story — is deliberately part of the concept: playful, Mediterranean, with character.
Sweet, salty, always with olive oil
The assortment is divided into two clear worlds. "The Family" includes sweet and savory cookies — including classics like Apple & Cinnamon (apple, cinnamon, olive oil), Lime (lime with sea salt flakes) or Tomato Bravo (sun-dried tomato, oregano). "The Chapter Collection" offers crackers for cheese boards, developed in collaboration with their own cheese ambassador. Both lines share the same philosophy: short ingredient lists, artisanal production in Barcelona, no added flavorings or preservatives. Anyone who reaches for Paul & Pippa gets baked goods that taste like the kitchen of a Mediterranean-raised pair of grandparents — just with a little more pace and a bit more lime.
