About Katia Zentner & Soleria

Olivenöl-Sommelier Katia Zentner
I was born and grew up in Madrid. As the daughter of a Spanish mother and an English father, I grew up in a family with two cultures. As if that weren’t enough, my personal path led me to Austria.
In 2013, I decided to make a dream come true and founded Solería de España, a web shop and trading business dedicated to selling and promoting high quality Spanish fine foods with a focus on extra virgin olive oil (my passion!).
So welcome to Solería! Have a wonderful time shopping for finest Spanish foods and the best Spanish Olive Oils!
