Founded in 1980 by Antonio Álvarez, father of the current managers, this company has since then endeavoured to maintain the same artisanal processes that lead to the creation of a Trévelez Ham. A production that benefits from a PGI, a protected indication of origin, guaranteeing compliance with the various stages: rigorous selection of the white hams from which they start and natural ageing of the hams, from 17 to 30 months, at a temperature naturally maintained at 15°C. In the shop you can buy the precious hams, but also the cheeses and wines of the Alpujarra. The house also organizes guided tours in a drying room to understand the different stages of processing: curing, adding butter to protect the ham, sweating... etc., followed by a tasting of hams from Trévelez, Iberian bellota, accompanied by wines from the region.
