El Ballestero

We are the fourth generation

In 1908, our Grandmother Sara was born, and with her, our story begins. The rural Spain of that moment used the imagination to survive the long winters and the annual slaughter was a tradition celebrated every Autumn. From this custom, elaboration that allowed to preserve the meat during the rest of the year, were born. In that way, is how our first recipes were born, same recipes that have been transmitted generation after generation. Nowadays, in El Conchel, we are the fourth generation, and we maintain our loyalty to the most authentic flavour, the tradition and the essence of our origins.
