Not as an abstract concept, but as a specific place, with its own name, history and unique conditions that make it one of the world’s great temples of Iberian ham. Guijuelo is a town located in the southeast of the province of Salamanca, at more than 1,000 meters above sea level, right on the Castilian plateau. Its climate is dry, cold in winter and with large temperature contrasts between day and night. That is precisely where its magic lies: exceptional natural conditions for the slow, natural curing of Iberian products, impossible to replicate elsewhere. It is no coincidence that the Denominación de Origen Guijuelo (Guijuelo Designation of Origin) was born here, created in 1986, one of the first DOs for Iberian ham. Belonging to the Guijuelo DO means complying with strict controls on origin, breed, feeding, production and curing times. It is a guarantee of authenticity, excellence and absolute respect for tradition. An indisputable example of this excellence is BEHER (Bernardo Hernández), one of the most recognized and award-winning Iberian brands internationally. At Made in Spain Gourmet we back BEHER because it perfectly represents what Guijuelo means: rigor, tradition, innovation and a constant obsession with quality. Within their catalog, we highlight some of their star products: 100% Iberian-breed ham, hand-sliced, a pure expression of elegance and the result of selecting the best pieces that form a limited, numbered series according to the curing year.
