Our history

The history of Naturval goes back to the history of a family:

Mr. Bernardo Evangelio Godoy is the beekeeper grandfather of Pilar Evangelio, co-founder of Naturval. In 1925, Bernardo, at the age of 17, had his first experience with bees, helping the town’s beekeepers. But later in 1936 the Spanish civil war broke out and years later when once the Civil War was over, he moved to live at the Masía Castillo Olivas in Villora (Cuenca).

During that time, the young man watched as different beekeepers passed through the farmhouse, and he decided to commission the carpenters in the area to carve two beehives for him to harvest his own honey. The experience was positive, so he decided to increase the number of the hives.

After the birth of Pilar, Bernardo moved to live in Montserrat (Valencia), continuing with the beekeeping operation in the Valencian Community where he collected rosemary, orange and flower honey.

When Pilar was still a child, she accompanied her grandfather to harvest the honey, of which she has fond memories of her grandfather’s honey.

With entrepreneurial spirit Pilar Evangelio and Vicente Moreno, who had been working in the beekeeping sector since the age of 16, decided to launch together with other partners in 1987, the UFAMA society that included beekeeping products, machinery and beekeeping health advice.

Finally, this company ended up being divided into independent branches and that is when the two entrepreneurs Pilar and Vicente decided to start Naturval apícola in 1996, which would continue to gradually develop over the years until it became a benchmark in the honey and bee products sector in Spain and Europe.
