Our Iberian Tradition
The authenticity and flavor of the Iberian products is unmatched. Each bite takes you on a journey to the heart of Spain!
Tradition. Excellence. Commitment.
Ibéricos Calderón y Ramos S.L. is more than a business — we are the living expression of a culinary tradition that has flourished in Guijuelo since 1982. What began as a passion for authentic Iberian products has grown into a trusted name recognized for its craftsmanship, integrity, and innovation in the world of premium cured meats. Where we mix tradition and origin to obtain different pork products (ham, loin, shoulder, ,chorizo and salchichón) within the three main iberico categories: acorn-fed pigs (Ibérico de bellota) , cebo de campo pigs and fodder-fed pigs (Ibérico de Cebo). Our 3 production facilities have IFS and BRC Certificates, that along with the investmenet in technology to optimize the production process, let us offer an homogeneous, with the correct maturing time and stable product throughout the year.
Apart from this, we have several formats in order to adapt the product to our customer needs ( whole pieces, halves, boneless product and slices through a hand or machine cut process).
