A Friendship Built on Heritage, Passion & the Finest from Spain

It was the summer of 2005. Jorge Soto was on his honeymoon in the South of France when he struck up a conversation with a fellow traveler at a small tapas bar in Marseille. That man was Roberto Segovia Perez, a Sevillano visiting his French cousin.

Over a bottle of Manzanilla and a plate of jamón ibérico, the two discovered a shared obsession: the extraordinary, often overlooked world of Spanish artisan foods. They stayed in touch, and two years later, with Roberto's family connections to some of Andalusia's greatest olive estates, Soto & Segovia Imports was born.

Starting with just three products — an Arbequina EVOO, a Sherry vinegar, and a fleur de sel — they approached Miami's finest restaurants. The response was immediate. Within 18 months, they had 50 accounts and a waiting list.

Today, Soto & Segovia represents over 200 SKUs from more than 40 artisan producers across every corner of Spain, from the salt marshes of Cádiz to the saffron fields of La Mancha.
