Crystal Taste Award - 3 stars

2023

Cárdeno is a Spanish producer based in Fuentes de León, Badajoz, with over 110 years of tradition in the production of Iberian cured meats. They specialize in the production of ham, shoulder cuts, and sausages made from 100% acorn-fed Iberian pigs.


Founded in 1910, Cárdeno is a family-owned company that has refined its production methods over generations, combining traditional techniques with modern quality standards. The pigs are raised on traditional pastures known as "dehesas," where they roam freely and feed on acorns, which enhances the unique flavor of the meat.


The curing and aging process takes place in natural drying facilities, where the climate provides optimal conditions for the development of rich aromas.
