Navarra – Lumbier (Cured Meats, Patés)
The company location came into being at the foot of the Pyrenees, in one of the regions with deep-seated traditions in the production of salamis. A land of traditions and contrasts, in which Argal still continues processing the salamis with the guidelines of master craftsmen: raw materials of the highest quality and recipes provide that everlasting good taste.
Catalunya – Miralcamp (Fuet, Sliced Products, Turkey, Cooked, Whole Piece, Cold Cuts: Chopped)
