Blue Planet Foods, Ltd. is currently operating exclusively as the importer of record for our Donostia Foods brand, bringing the finest in authentic Spanish tinned fish, Cantabrian anchovies, olives, guindilla peppers, and more to the United States for over a decade.

Providing all your Gilda pintxo needs since 2012

While Donostia Foods was established by Andrew “A.J.” Weiss, with an inkling for the brand in 2010, more substantial consideration in 2011, and actual offerings in 2012, it came to be thanks to Blue Planet Foods, which began some time before, when A.J. was just a college freshman surrounded by corn in central Illinois.

Blue Planet Foods, Ltd. was founded by Andy E. Weiss in partnership with Miguel Rubio de Urquia in October 2000, sourcing and marketing diverse products and ingredients from around the world. Their accumulated years of knowledge provided customers with an awareness of true market conditions and the benefit of direct relations with some of the world's best producers.

Our philosophy for Donostia and Blue Planet Foods is built on integrity: through honest communication, reliable service, and high-quality products, we believe the strength of our relationships with producers and customers alike will create sustained success for all.

A.J. Weiss, now president and CEO of Blue Planet Foods, strives to continue applying this philosophy in every aspect of business, and feels somewhat awkward writing about himself in the third person (it only ever made sense for Rickey Henderson, because he was Rickey Henderson).

While Donostia Foods is now our focus, we continue to have our Blue Harvest label available, remain open to considering partnerships with other brands, producers, and clients from across the globe. Please contact us if you’d like to have a conversation.

Blue Planet Foods was founded in October 2000. We are in no way related to or affiliated with the division of McKee Foods that changed their name to Blue Planet Foods, Inc. in 2004, to the confusion of many of our mutual customers.
