Extremadura

Fregenal de la Sierra

In the heart of the Extremaduran Dehesa lies a village abounding with tradition. Here Ibérico pigs are reared and fed not only on acorns and pasture, but also on air, sun, clouds, mountains... This accounts for their Ibérico nature, unique and unmistakable.

Catalunya

Miralcamp

The region is known for, among other things, its diverse cuisine and culinary traditions. From these culinary traditions, heavily influenced by the Mediterranean culture, we inherited very characteristic naturally dried sausages, such as fuet or longaniza de payés. At Argal we prepare these products according to traditional recipes.
