A donut also called a doughnut (from English donut / ˈdoʊnət / or / ˈdoʊnʌt /;), donut, rosquita, rosco, picarón, berlina or berlin is a toro or sweet bread roll that is traditionally fried in pork fat.

The origins of donuts are disputed. Some historians claim that its precursors can be found among the medieval people of northern Europe; but the popular form that is associated today with the term donut was first made in 1847, when a sailor named Hanson Gregory, made the famous hole in the lid of a ship’s pepper shaker, to solve the problem that the dough does not fry well in the center. The origin of the donut is generally considered to come from the Dutch Christmas sweet oliebollen (oil balls), which were brought to New Amsterdam (future New York) in the 16th century. In the following centuries it evolved into the donut that is known today.

In Spain, in 1962 the businessman and baker Andrés Costafreda established the company Donut Corporation, after a trip to the United States. He began to manufacture and market them under the Donuts trademark, over which he maintains exclusive ownership in Spain. Currently, after the unification of the Panrico Group in 1999, it is this corporation that produces and markets pastries under this trade name.

Since 2007, the largest producer of packaged pastry in Spain, the Dulcesol Group, 8 manufactures this product under the registered trademark Soles Dulcesol and has become the main commercial alternative.
