Our Story
Back in 1988, what began as a trading venture with a curated collection of specialty products from Spain has grown into something truly special. Oriental Merchants, Inc. (OMI) was born with the mission to bring the authentic flavors of the world closer to Filipino homes.
Over the years, that dream has flourished. Today, OMI is proud to be one of the country’s most trusted names in premium gourmet imports, with favorites from Spain, Italy and Belgium gracing the shelves of top supermarkets and the kitchens of renowned hotels and restaurants. From rich olive oils and flavorful vinegars to fine cheeses, aromatic herbs and spices, hearty pastas, and delicate biscuits, every product we carry is carefully chosen to bring quality, authenticity, and a little bit of the world’s best to your table.
But our story doesn’t stop with food. We’ve also expanded into personal care — offering a growing range of Spanish colognes, shampoos, and body fresheners. Just as we bring premium taste to your kitchen, we bring a touch of elegance and everyday indulgence to your self-care moments.
At the heart of OMI is a team of passionate people — dreamers, doers, and food lovers — committed to delivering products that inspire and delight. And as we continue to grow and innovate, one thing remains the same: our promise to Bring the Best of the World Closer to Home.
