JOLENE

A modern, international catering company cofounded by two women - neither named Jolene - that share the conviction that every meal is an opportunity to eat well.

FRANCESCA

JOLENE´s CEO and chef got her humble beginings pursuing a Master’s Degree in Sports Nutrition before creating menus and meal plans for wellness companies in Barcelona.

Fusing food science and flavors from her Italian/Venezuelan culinary heritage, it wasn’t long before she was being asked to cook for private clients and catered events.

VANESSA

After nearly two decades in the restaurant and hospitality industry and several years as a designer Vanessa overlaps gastronomy and aesthetic to . coauthors many of the menus and aims to bring authenticity to each culinary experience

FARE

Food is Jolene’s love language.

From the simplest sandwich to the most decadent dish, we aim to create plates that blend nostalgia with nouvelle cuisine.

Our custom menus feature elegant comfort food using the finest seasonal ingredients and inspiration from mediterranean, latino and american fare.

We strive to craft inspired, approachable, delicious meals that bring people together and invite them back for seconds.

APPROACH

Our philosophy is to always eat well and with good company - our goal is to do that with every meal we serve.

Food tastes better when it is made responsibly and we take great strides to use sustainable products and practices on every level.

We depend on the purveyors who bring us the best ingredients, and we’re grateful to our clients who give us the opportunity to create memorable culinary experiences.

SERVICES

Jolene caters to formal and casual affairs alike, whether you are celebrating the most important day of your life or having a small get together in your home or office.

We’ll work with you to create a custom menu and presentation - from curated grazing tables to family style meals and plated engagements, we will be sure your food looks as good as it tastes.

For the foodies and gastronomes, we also offer private courses, workshops and showcooking, as well as pop-up events and holiday meals.

OUR CLIENTS

what they say about us…

“Well what can I say, Vanessa and Francesca are truly the best in Barcelona.

From my first email to the last delivery, they just got it. Feeding 80 people breakfast, lunch (and sometimes dinner) they didn’t miss a trick. It isn’t often I don’t get any moans from the team, but on this occasion it was the case! The only question I’ve been asked, is when they are catering for us again.Our events are never easy, but it was all taken in their strides and even ad hoc requests they were able to solve for me with ease.

If you are looking to work with great people who deliver excellent standards across the culinary board, then look no further.”
