Some 65% of the products will be manufactured in Nestlé’s factories in Miajadas (Cáceres), La Penilla de Cayón (Cantabria), Sebares (Asturias) and Reus (Tarragona).
The company said the launch is in response to consumer demand.
“Nestlé has decided to bet heavily on organic products in our country,” the company said in a statement.
Laurent Dereux, the CEO of Nestlé’s Spanish arm, said: “Consumers demand more and more healthy and sustainable products.”

In February, Nestle’s Brazilian arm announced plans to launch its first organic food line in that country.
The Switzerland-based company has been busy expanding its natural and organic offerings. Earlier this year, it bought a majority stake in Terrafertil, an Ecuadorian company selling natural and organic plant-based foods.
