Our roots as a coffee roasting company date back to 1909 when our great grandfather Leonardo Alarcon first started collecting and sorting coffee beans for a local coffee exporter in southwest Venezuela.
Like the Orinoco River that flows through our homeland, our family has traveled many miles west, then north and finally east, settling near the seaboard of the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, Orinoco’s heritage includes four generations of growers, exporters, importers, and roasters. Jessup, Maryland is our coffee roasting company’s home, but our goal remains: to consistently provide excellent coffee and tea products to retailers, local coffee shops, and multi-store grocery chains across the United States.
Since 1932, Saval Foodservice has been serving Mid-Atlantic restaurants from Philadelphia to Roanoke.
We are the largest family-owned, independent broadline foodservice distributor headquartered in the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas.
