About This Brand
Cocinero is a heritage Argentine oil brand dating to the mid-twentieth century, owned by Molinos RÃo de la Plata — one of South America's largest food companies. While sister brand Natura dominates the mass-market cooking oil segment, Cocinero occupies the premium tier with its extra virgin olive oil, grape seed oil, and flavored oil lines. Argentina's olive-growing regions in Mendoza, San Juan, and Catamarca provinces supply the raw olives, while Molinos' processing infrastructure ensures consistent quality and competitive cost versus Mediterranean producers. Cocinero's B2B customers include restaurant chains, catering companies, gourmet food distributors, and private-label programs for supermarket chains across Latin America. The brand carries ISO 22000 and BRC certifications, and its extra virgin olive oil meets International Olive Council (IOC) standards.
