Jamones Aljomar celebrates its 22nd anniversary looking proudly to the past, enjoying the present, and with great projects for the future.

These days, we celebrate another anniversary . It happened 22 years ago, when the first Jamones Aljomar facilities opened in Guijuelo (Salamanca). It was the dream of a man and a woman who, back in the 1970s, stood out for their entrepreneurial spirit. They left their hometown (Ledrada, Salamanca) and opened their first Iberian cured meat business in Seville. The project grew; they worked hard, trusted, took risks, made plans, and fought for them. Their perseverance gradually bore fruit, and the construction of their own factory became a reality on December 8, 1992 .

Today, a multitude of images come to mind that remind us of the first steps taken by our founder Alfonso Sánchez Bernal and his wife María del Carmen Sánchez Álvarez to launch what is now the Aljomar Group .

With the arrival of the new century, in the year 2000, it was even necessary to expand the facilities of the factory initially built to house the complete process of curing, marketing and distribution of Iberian meats, hams and sausages .

With just a few days left to say goodbye to 2014, the Aljomar factory of hams, shoulders, sausages and Iberian pork meats is a national and international reference in the sector, a model from a productive and hygienic-sanitary point of view, equipped with state-of-the-art technology in temperature control, classification and manual treatment of the products.

We remain committed to renewal and constant innovation. That's why we currently pride ourselves on our Controlled Production and Processing Cycle, designed to achieve demanding standards of quality and food safety. This includes meticulous genetic care of the raw materials, on-site feeding, slaughter, butchering, and curing in our own facilities, and the marketing and distribution of the final product. To accomplish this, we utilize the land and feed mill of the Vera Vieja livestock farm , the 'El Navazo' slaughterhouse , and the Aljomar facilities in Guijuelo .

And all this without losing focus, our emblem, the essence: Maintaining tradition in the way the product is made, 'THE WORK OF A FAMILY'.
