Iberian Ham tradition

the value of tradition

Over time

Almost a century of tradition, experience, and craftsmanship characterize ARTURO SÁNCHEZ today, after three generations of elaborating Iberian pig-based products.

Throughout this time, they have continually improved the way they select their pigs, the production techniques and the careful handling of the curing process. As a result ARTURO SÁNCHEZ brand represents today the true jewel of the gastronomy. Their cutting-edge facilities are home to the latest technological innovations that are suitably combined with the tradition learnt, allowing for the elaboration of artisanal products with the most thorough quality control.

the value of tradition

traditionally artisans

The legacy passed on by many generations is essential for ARTURO SÁNCHEZ and separates us from the rest. The best and most precious lesson learnt from our ancestors is the artisan methods they applied to their products, which we have preserved to date and tried to improve: Adobo (seasoning sauce) made with spices and natural products, manually tied products, cold cuts and loins dried in the heat of a Holm oak wood fire (campana)...painstaking work to enhance the quality of the raw materials used.

Accordingly, all of our products are dried in secaderos (natural drying room) and natural cellars, with the cold air from the nearby mountain ranges of Gredos and Bejar. The windows are manually opened and closed daily to allow a gentle airflow for a slow maturation; this is when the hams begin to acquire their characteristic and unique taste.
