You can't talk about Guijuelo without talking about Iberian ham, not only due to it's unique climate, but also for the love of a legendary tradition.
Guijuelo is the land of the Iberian tradition, located at the foot of the “Sierra de Gredos”, at more than 1000m above sea level, surrounded by cold winds, ancient oak and cork trees.
The love for our land, its produts and techniques inherited from our ancestors, together with the latest control and safety systems, are the elements that enable us to transmit a taste of home in each of our Iberian products.
In the unique nature of its forests are the staple food of our selected Iberian pig: Acorns. The beginning of everything. Without forgetting its genuine climate with short, hot summers and long, cold winters, the acorn is one of the secrets that allows us to cure hams in a special and unique way.
Iberian products are part of our culinary heritage. They are on our tables, in our recipes, conversations and are certainly one of the healthy customs that we should never lose.
An Iberian acorn ham sandwich and a platter of Iberian cold meats at a table where we can share the products of our grandparents. They are a gastronomical experience and the image of a magical moment, a moment to sit and share conversations and mouthwatering flavours.
These are the things that are ours, habits that have been passed down through generations, because they are part of our culinary heritage.
Ham, cold meats, sausages and all of the products derived from the Iberian pig form part of the heritage from our parents, and what we will pass on to our children. Iberian tradition always and forever.
At Estrella Castilla, we continue to develop our products so that these moments can be enjoyed forever. We do this all in the name of tradition, and to keep it alive.
