history

the craft

It was not until the Middle Ages that virgin wax was introduced for candle making. Until then, oil or tallow was used because wax, which provided more light without smoke or unpleasant odors, was much more expensive. This gave rise to the craft of the chandler, with a product initially aimed only at the wealthier classes and liturgical rituals.

Tapers were made by dipping wicks hanging from a lathe into liquid wax, as shown in our seal. It was the use of molds and the discovery of paraffin in the 19th century - a much cheaper wax than the original one - that extended its use and gave rise to an industry that has never lost the tradition and craftsmanship rooted in its origins.

today

the evolution

Today, Ceras Roura is the leading candle manufacturer in the country. Throughout our journey to leadership, we have always been accompanied by a passion for doing good work, as well as the experience and perseverance of five generations of the same family.

In addition to technological advancements, it has been the social changes that have been decisive in the progression of our industry. Over the years, the meaning and use that consumers have given to the product have changed dramatically. Candles have acquired a status of multi-sensory objects that project light and also aroma, capable of creating environments.
