In the dynamic world of food, innovation and quality are key to standing out. A clear example of this is the alliance between Noel Alimentaria and Tap Tap Food, two companies that have joined forces to offer high-quality, safe, and healthy food products using the high-pressure processing (HPP) technology provided by Hiperbaric.
Who is Tap Tap Food?
Tap Tap Food was created in 2011 in Sant Just Desvern, near Barcelona, with the vision of transforming the way we consume soups, creams, gazpachos, and sauces. Since its inception, Tap Tap has focused on offering products that resemble homemade ones, using top-quality ingredients and ensuring food safety.
In 2017, Tap Tap was a pioneer in Spain by launching gazpacho and natural grated tomato treated with High Pressure Processing (HPP) technology.
Union with Noel Alimentaria
In 2020, Tap Tap joined the Noel Alimentaria, group, a company founded in 1940 in San Joan les Fonts, Girona. Noel Alimentaria is known for its production and distribution of cooked and cured ham, sausages, fresh meats, prepared dishes, pizzas, creams, and vegetable juices. This alliance has allowed Tap Tap to expand its presence in the national and international market, benefiting from Noel’s extensive distribution network.
Innovating Thanks to High Hydrostatic Pressures
HPP technology has been a fundamental pillar in Tap Tap Food’s innovation strategy. This non-thermal preservation method allows maintaining the freshness and natural flavor of the products while ensuring food safety. By applying high levels of hydrostatic pressure (up to 6,000 bar), microorganisms are inactivated without the need for heat, preserving the nutrient structure.

Benefits of HPP Technology
- Quality and Freshness: HPP technology preserves the flavor and aroma of fresh ingredients, offering products that seem freshly made.
- Food Safety: By inactivating microorganisms, food safety is guaranteed without the need for artificial preservatives.
- Extended Shelf Life: HPP-treated products have a significantly longer shelf life, facilitating their export and distribution.
- Sustainability: By not requiring heat, HPP technology is more environmentally friendly and helps reduce the use of additives.
To implement this cutting-edge technology, Tap Tap Food relies on Hiperbaric, a world leader in HPP solutions. Hiperbaric offers 24/7 technical support, ensuring efficient and personalized operation of its equipment. This collaboration has been crucial for Tap Tap’s success and its products in the market.
A Brand in Continuous Growth
Thanks to HPP technology, Tap Tap Food offers a wide range of products including gazpachos, salmorejos, creams, broths, and sauces. These products not only stand out for their quality and homemade flavor but also for their creativity and variety. The Nature Tap Tap brand is aimed at the end consumer, while they also produce more than 150 references for other brands and the Horeca channel.
HPP technology has been a key factor in Tap Tap Food’s international expansion. Their products are present in markets such as the United Kingdom, France, and Portugal, and the company continues to explore new commercial opportunities thanks to the multiple benefits of this technology.
The alliance between Noel Alimentaria and Tap Tap Food, along with the use of Hiperbaric’s HPP technology, is an inspiring example of how innovation and collaboration can transform the food industry, offering high-quality and safe products for consumers worldwide.
