QUALITY AND INNOVATION

We put food safety and quality at the centre.

 

We are committed to offering meat products of the highest standards, carefully selecting the best raw materials and using the most advanced processes to guarantee their optimal condition and flavour.

 

Our specialised production plants are equipped with the latest technology to ensure continuous product control. We apply the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system and Standard Hygiene Control Plans (SHCP) in all production processes.

 

We are type-approved to work in the main export markets and hold some of the most demanding certifications in the food sector. We are also constantly seeking out new technologies and innovative solutions that allow us to improve our products, combining tradition and cutting-edge technology in each of our processes.

 

Examples include: quartering, cutting and packaging in a continuous flow without holding meat stocks to capture freshness at its optimal moment. Achieving a spongy texture in all our burgers because they are made with the “low-pressure” technique. We also replicate, step by step, the traditional processes for producing and curing cold meats and serrano ham, and follow traditional cooking processes for breaded products and croquettes to achieve a creamy filling and a thin, crunchy coating.

 

We achieve this with high-tech production lines in all our facilities. We have artificial vision for product quality control, use artificial intelligence for cutting processes, and employ tools such as magnetic guided vehicles to control and transport cold meat products during the curing process. We also continuously partner with technological research centres, such as IRTA and INNOVACC, to keep making progress in terms of competitiveness and innovation.
