Tres generaciones eligiendo lo mejor del campo ibérico

Our story

It all started with a conviction

Casa Maravillas was founded with the aim of offering our clients and consumers a unique selection of Iberian products and gourmet foods in a simple and direct way, as we go to the source in search of the best products on the market.

Let's go to the origin because that's where the truth of the product lies.

Quality is not promised. It is chosen.

The Casa Maravillas Criterion

What we look at before saying yes

01

THE ORIGIN

Every great ham starts long before it reaches the table.

That's why, before choosing a piece, we want to know where it comes from, who is behind it, and what's in its origins. We know the pastures, we work with producers we trust, and we look for origins that are up to the standard of what we want to offer.

Because for us, selecting a good ham begins with making the right choice from the start.

PARENTING
02

PARENTING

Quality is also built during the rearing process.

It's important for us to know how each animal was raised, its breed, its diet, and especially the environment in which it lived. We look for animals raised in spaces where they can develop freely, in contact with nature, and in conditions consistent with their way of life.

Because the place where an animal lives also contributes to the ham that arrives at our table.

THE WEATHER
03

THE WEATHER

A good ham needs time.

Curing cannot be rushed without consequences. That is why we look for pieces that have followed their own rhythm, respecting the cellar times each one needs to develop its full potential.

We don't look for a ham to be ready sooner. We look for it to be ready when it truly is.

THE PART
04

THE PART

Before tasting a ham, there is much it can tell us.

We observe its shape, its conformation, its proportions, and especially how the fat is presented and its marbling. Each piece has its own characteristics, and we know that many of them begin to be discovered even before it is opened.

Because selecting also means knowing how to look, recognizing the details, and understanding what a piece can offer before bringing it to the table.

THE PART

And when everything comes together, we know we're looking at a ham worthy of our selection.

Three levels of selection

There is no single standard. There are three.

The seal indicates the legal category. Our level says where that piece ranks within what we accept.

01

We only post what we believe

If a product doesn't impress us on the first try, it doesn't make it to our store. We say no much more often than we say yes.

Authenticity

02

A balance that cannot be broken

Between the animal and its environment, between the producer and their land, between us and the person who receives the order.

Respect

03

No exceptions and no excuses

The same standard in selection, packaging, and logistics. When something doesn't meet the standard, we say so and fix it.

Requirement

04

Tradition and innovation are not opposites

They are two sides of the same coin: we honor the knowledge of generations while seeking new ways to make it accessible.
