How it works

One platform. Three steps. Less time chasing suppliers.

Sourcing protected food across borders usually means a dozen email threads, unmatched price lists and a fax number in Andalusia. Iriska replaces that with one catalogue, one checkout and one set of documents.

01

Discover

Search a curated catalogue of protected and heritage products. Filter by origin, designation, allergens, storage regime or availability — and see the register entry behind every name.

02

Compare

Transparent B2B prices, pack formats, minimum orders and lead times. Producer profiles carry certifications and verification status, so you know who you are buying from before you commit.

03

Order

Multi-supplier basket, one checkout, one invoice. Payments are handled by a licensed European payment provider; deliveries and documents stay traceable end to end.

The shelf

Where we start.

Sixteen categories of protected and heritage food, each mapped to the European registers. The numbers below are protected designations we track — the sellable catalogue opens with our first suppliers in October.

For producers & distributors

Reach kitchens that take quality seriously.

Iriska is built for houses whose product carries a name — a designation, a village, a family. We show that story where a generic marketplace shows a price per kilo.

  • Register in about a minute. Your VAT number is checked automatically against the European VIES register; verified sellers are marked as such to buyers.
  • List by spreadsheet or by hand. Structured product data aligned with the EU registers — allergens, net content, designation, storage.
  • Transparent commission, no hidden fees. You pay on accepted orders only. No listing fees, no subscription.
  • One profile, many countries. Visible to buyers in Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, the Netherlands and beyond, each in their own language.

Beyond the shelf

The list is one rung of a ladder.

The same producers and restaurants that fill the catalogue also sell what cannot be shipped in a box. Iriska carries all of it on one account, with one set of relationships behind it.

Experiences

Tastings, masterclasses, a table at the finca.

A producer opens the cellar and pours what is usually only shipped in cases. A chef closes the dining room for a set built around one region. Both are sold like any catalogue item — you see what is included, what it costs, and how many seats are left.

  • Pick a date, or don’t. Book a specific slot, or take an open voucher valid for a year and arrange the timing with the host later. Vouchers can be given as a gift.
  • What is included is written, not photographed. Menu by course, the pairing and its levels, the add-ons — described honestly, priced separately.
  • Wine, ahead of the bottle. Bottles wait for the excise work in year two. A tasting is a service, not a bottle, so a wine house can host through Iriska from the start.
By request

Catering and curated tours.

Two things a catalogue cannot price in advance. You send a brief; the house that already supplies the food sends back a proposal. Agreement becomes an order on the platform — with its contract, its insurance and its record.

01

Catering

Date, headcount, place, budget — that is the whole brief. Producers and chef-restaurateurs answer with a menu and a price. For an opening, a fair, a private dinner or a season of them; the food comes from the same houses whose names are on the labels.

02

Curated tours

Multi-day routes through the regions our producers come from — a dairy at milking, a mill at first pressing, a cellar where the ham hangs. Built with the people who work there, not with a coach company. Quote-based, like catering.

03

Why they belong here

A buyer who has stood in the cellar orders differently afterwards. Every rung feeds the one below it: read, taste, order, book, travel — one account, one set of relationships, one invoice trail.

The shelf opens in October. Experiences follow as hosts are verified; catering and tours open by request from the same accounts.

Why designations matter

A name is a promise someone can check.

PDO, PGI and TSG are not marketing words: they are legal designations, tied to a place, a method and an inspection body. We keep a reference of 968 of them — what each protects, where it comes from, and which of our sellers can supply it.

For a chef that means a menu claim you can defend. For a producer it means the standard you already meet is finally visible to the buyer, instead of being flattened into a commodity line.

Straight answers

How buying here works.

Prices and payment

All prices are shown in euro (EUR), per unit and per pack, with VAT treatment stated at checkout. Payment is by card, iDEAL and SEPA through a licensed European payment provider; orders are charged when the seller accepts them.

Delivery and returns

Shipping cost, lead time and the carrier are shown before you confirm. Chilled and ambient goods travel under their declared regime. Our returns and cancellation policy covers damaged, incorrect and late-delivered goods.

Contact

Write to us and a person answers — normally within one business day, Monday to Friday.
