Serrano ham is Spain’s most enjoyed food, sliced thin and served with bread, or used in classic recipes. Boneless Jamon Serrano is perfect for slicing with little waste, and great for storing for later use. Martinez Somalo is a family company from La Rioja that was founded in 1900. Over this long history they have perfected their craft, creating a top quality Serrano ham with balanced curing and excellent marbling.

Jamon Serrano literally means mountain ham and Martinez Somalo is a member of the “Consorcium of Jamon Serrano” which guarantees the quality of each ham. Sold off the bone, nothing is wasted. All our serrano hams have an ETG accreditation for Guaranteed Traditional Speciality. The pigs are all 100% Spanish and are selected for their quality. The curing process begins and takes 14 months where all the hams are cured under the careful oversight of the Martinez Somalo ham master. This means that each jamon is cured long enough for a consistent, firm and full flavoured ham.

Martinez Somalo (La Rioja)

Martinez Somalo was founded in 1901 by Don Jose Martinez Campo. Don Jose was part of a large family and several siblings were dedicated to the manufacturing and sale of meat products. At that time products derived from the raw pork and Don Jose would trade them in his hometown and closest villages. The processing plant was called “La Gloria Riojana”. La Gloria Riojana was at that time a small manufacturing plant located in Baños de Rio Tobia (La Rioja), where the company is currently located.

The characteristics of the Baños de Rio Tobia village, at 600 meters above sea level, located in the valley of the river Najerilla and surrounded by mountains, allowed cold winters, hot summers and springs and mild autumns, which created the perfect micro climate that would favour the curing and drying of pork derived products. Since May 2011, the company is being managed by the fourth family generation, maintaining the family spirit, but with the support of valuable and reliable professionals in management positions.

Martinez Somalo is a company committed to its employees, to the village, where it is located, Baños de Rio Tobia and its region. A company characterised for its great respect to every employee, customers and suppliers. It is also a respected company, with social responsibility and aware of its obligation to generate wealth and employment.
