History
In 1926 Miró developed a machine that could pit and fill olives on a production line, turning a locally prepared tapa into a commercially manufactured product.[3][4] The business originally traded as El Serpis, taking its name from the Serpis river that runs through Alcoy.[5]
The company later expanded from its original anchovy-stuffed olives into a broader catalogue of olive products, pickles and other snack items.[1][2] Its current factory in Alcoy was opened in 2006, while the Serpis expo-museum opened in 2007.[3] In 2011, it received the Valencian regional government's award for best agri-food industry.[3]
Products
Serpis uses green Manzanilla olives from the province of Seville and black Cacereña olives in part of its range.[6][7] According to the company, its fillings are manufactured in-house.[1][6] Products are sold in tins, glass jars and stand-up pouches (doypacks).[8]
Besides its traditional anchovy-stuffed olives, the company markets flavored and filled varieties and a range of pickled products.[1][9] Examples documented by the company and in contemporary coverage include pepper, blue cheese, Serrano ham, chili, chorizo and Tabasco variants.[10][11][3] In 2026, Cadena SER reported that Serpis marketed about 12,000 tonnes of olives annually in 50 countries.[2]
