It is, par excellence, the reference brand for Catalan cured sausages. With a classic and always-winning recipe: tradition and the highest quality ingredients. It all begins in the mid-19th century 10 reasons to buy Casa Riera Ordeix salchichón It all begins in the mid-19th century The year 1852 began when a man born in Vic, the capital of the Osona region in Barcelona province, decided to found a company that more than 150 years later would display its products in galleries such as Harrods in London, Lafayette in Paris or KaDeWe in Berlin—not to mention our well-known El Corte Inglés. His name was Josep Riera Font and the date was January 25. That day a journey began with Vic salchichón as the protagonist, a journey that would bring joy to millions of people around the world. The same year that Spanish geniuses like Ramón y Cajal and Antonio Gaudí were born, Casa Riera Ordeix also came into being — a brand that, after the first steps taken by Josep Riera, was developed by his son Pau Riera Ordeix and continued through a total of six generations of men passionate about roots, respect for the land and the enthusiasm for a unique product that still enchants us 16 decades later.
