HARINAS POLO

Harinas Polo is a Spanish flour milling company that traces its origins to 1880, when Santiago Polo began milling activity in the Belchite region of Zaragoza, building on a family tradition. The business grew through a series of mills in Aragon and Castile: a new factory in Cariñena, the San José mill in Zaragoza, and the management of the Nuestra Señora del Duero factory in Almazán (Soria) and the Navas factory in Alfindén. In 1970 the family, led by José Luis Polo, acquired the Villanueva de Gállego plant from the brand Harinas Aragón, which remains the company's mill and the address given on its website. The company describes itself as "Millers since 1880" and today operates under the management of Paloma Polo, great-granddaughter of the founder. Its product range covers wheat flours, multicereals, seeds, puffed grains, flakes and brans, stone-milled flour, made-to-measure blends, and a certified organic portfolio. The organic line includes soft, bread, strong and wholemeal organic wheat flours, as well as spelt, Kamut Khorasan wheat and quinoa, sold in 25 kg paper bags with traceability and year-round regularity. Harinas Polo serves wholesale customers, with logistics prepared for bulk orders; for quantities under 150 kg it directs buyers to distributors across Spain. Its products are marketed throughout the country and the company presents its milling tradition, quality and specialization as a source of pride for Aragon, a region known for cereal and flour culture. The company is privately held by the Polo family and is headquartered at Camino Harinera s/n, Villanueva de Gállego, Zaragoza.

Harinas Polo's history begins in 1880, when Santiago Polo initiated milling activity based on a family tradition in the Belchite region of Zaragoza. The company's own account states that he immediately built a new factory in Cariñena, a step that anchored the business in Aragon's cereal-growing landscape. In 1938, together with his sons José and Manuel, the family established the San José mill in Zaragoza, while also beginning to manage the Nuestra Señora del Duero factory in Almazán (Soria) and the Navas factory in Alfindén. These moves expanded the family's milling footprint beyond its original base and connected it to several localities across the region. A decisive turning point came in 1970, when the family, under the management of José Luis Polo, grandson of the founder, acquired the Villanueva de Gállego plant from the brand Harinas Aragón. This site became the company's principal mill and remains its headquarters and production address today. The company describes the plant as combining the most advanced methods and new technologies with the tradition of quality and specialization that has earned it recognized prestige across Spain. By 2009, Harinas Polo was under the management of Paloma Polo, great-granddaughter of the founder, supported by partners trained in the company's philosophy. The firm presents its output as a source of pride for Aragon, a region whose cereal, flour and derivative culture is recognized for its quality. Over more than a century, the business has evolved from a single family milling operation into a diversified producer of wheat flours, multicereals, seeds, puffed grains, flakes, brans, stone-milled flour, made-to-measure blends and certified organic products, while remaining a privately held family enterprise.
