International Key Account Manager - Sales - Food Industry MadridWho are we?
At Quevana we make cheese with no dairy.
We innovate in fermentation and maturing processes to maintain all the quality of traditional aged cheese, but using cashew milk instead of cow's milk.
We are a young company from Segovia and we want to contribute to improving the food system by producing food that is absolutely delicious and takes care of our health, the environment and animals.
We produce our cashew cheeses following 4 pillars: spectacular taste and texture, health, sustainability and accessible price.
We are one of the first companies globally to offer this type of plant-based cheeses at price parity with traditional dairy cheeses, making them much more accessible to all types of consumers.
We sell inside and outside Europe with customers such as Jumbo, Monoprix, Continente, Coop or Maxima supermarkets, and we have our own factory with organic and IFS certification located in Vallelado, Segovia, Spain.
In 2024 we had the honor of receiving CaixaBank's EmprendeXXI Award for the most innovative startup with the greatest growth potential in Castilla y León.
