Protiberia, a solution to transform the food world
We are a bioeconomy company that invests in R&D. Our focus is on developing innovative and sustainable technology and production processes based on the insect Tenebrio molitor. We aim to produce raw materials, such as high-quality proteins for human and animal feed and biofertilizers for agricultural use.

Nowadays, it is not enough to do the same things as always. At Protiberia, we research, collaborate with other entities, and develop our technology to achieve the best possible results.

Our guiding principle is to honor nature through a circular and sustainable model, where all resources are utilized without waste. The process and the resulting product from mealworm breeding are 100% natural.
Social Commitment
We are dedicated to fostering local economies, creating jobs in rural regions of Spain, and advocating for inclusivity. Our mission is to leave the world in a better state than we found it.
Responsibility
We leave nothing of what we do to chance. Our processes are rigorously studied and verified, and comply with European and sanitary regulations.
We have our own buildings and facilities, and we research and develop the most efficient technology for breeding and transforming Tenebrio molitor in its different applications.
