Bernardo Hernandez

BEHER is a contraction of the name Bernano Hernandez, the name of the original founder and current manager of the world-famous pig farm in Guijuelo, Spain.

5 generations of knowledge and craftsmanship

This award-winning pig farm was founded in the 1930s. The company prioritizes tradition and craftsmanship. For five generations, they have bred Iberian pigs with passion and dedication.

From insemination to distribution

BEHER has its own farms in Salamanca, Cáceres, Badajoz, Cordoba, and Portugal. This allows it to control the entire production chain: from insemination and slaughter to the packaging and distribution of the cured hams.

The reference in the pig world

Thanks to selection, pure breed purity, and optimal living conditions, the sublime pork sells far beyond Europe. The BEHER brand has become not only a benchmark but also a quality label in the meat industry.

racial purity

BEHER breeds exclusively 100% purebred pigs that are raised in the best possible conditions. The adult animals live largely outdoors in a warm climate on hilly pastures. There, their diet consists of grasses, herbs, and acorns that fall from the trees.

Pata Negra

Besides cutting and selling the pure meat, they also produce traditionally dried hams. These are known worldwide as Pata Negra. The term is protected in Spain and cannot be used by everyone. More about this in the article about Pata Negra.

With this exceptional Pata Negra, the company won numerous awards at IFFA in Frankfurt, the world's most important meat fair, between 2001 and 2016.

Export far beyond Europe

The exceptionally flavorful meat has been sold in Europe for some time now, in major countries like Germany and France, as well as in the Benelux (exclusively through Distri Carne, the wholesaler behind Discovermeat.be).

In recent years, the company has been strongly committed to exporting beyond Europe, currently selling in 40 countries worldwide. Recently, it has also expanded into Asian countries, including China and Japan.

Exclusively available through Distri Carne and Discovermeat.be

DIstri Carne, the wholesaler above this webshop, has held exclusive import rights to BEHER products in the Benelux for 30 years. Now, through Discovermeat.be, consumers can finally enjoy this exceptional meat.
