for sharing,
like life itself.

With D.O
D.O. stands for Denominación de Origen: an official seal guaranteeing that a product comes from one specific area and is made to strict rules that have been refined over generations. It is the difference between any old ham and an acorn-fed ham from Extremadura. We only work with D.O. produce when the flavour earns it.
