ORO VIEJO´s family business was born around the mid-twentieth century, and it is still alive over three generations. In the 1950s, our grandparent Fernando Ramos González made his first steps slaughtering Iberian pigs. That´s how all it began. With the help of mules and donkeys, he used to transport them and sell pork products from his own slaughters to villages from the natural environment of the Northern part of Huelva.

This is how the history of what is today ORO VIEJO starts. Humility, simplicity, quality, handicrafts, direct customer contact. Our grandfather, Fernando Ramos, used to go from village to village offering Iberian pig’s culinary delicacies from the meadows of Huelva´s mountain range.

Iberico´s charcuterie was made, as we do it nowadays, with homemade spices. Curing hams and shoulders have been totally prepared in a natural manner. Every artisan has been contributing for decades during until the end of the 20th Century. ORO VIEJO´s modest history has been progressing in a remarkable way since 1996, when Manuel, our father and Fernando´s son, established the basis of a family business that has been making a difference and leaving a legacy. We have been preserving the essence of old times, the wisdom of our ancestors breeding pigs in our meadows, slaughtering, maintaining a high quality in our products, caring for the environment nature, and cuddling daily with efforts and work our products in our larders.

We also offer a direct sale to the public in our larder/factory placed in Higuera de la Sierra. From there we are carrying ORO VIEJO´s legacy worldwide, becoming a model nationally in the manufacturing and in the healing of Iberian pork products.
ORO VIEJO´s family Business received the ‘GOLDEN Ham’ award in 2017 within the celebration of the Ham Gala place in the famous Regional Fair of Iberian Ham and Pork of Aracena.
