What is the blue seal?
The blue seal is the distinctive seal of SU Casa, the ham or shoulder of García Mimbrero, a product that they have been producing with passion and dedication for over 65 years.
The founder, Rafael García Mimbrero, had a clear vision: to create a product with organoleptic characteristics that would remain consistent over time.
How do they achieve this? By meticulously controlling the entire production process, from genetic selection to the curing of the hams, including the production of high-quality feed.
With this blue seal, they separate themselves from the regulations of Iberian ham and its standard qualities known as white, green, red, and black bridle.
The ham or shoulder of Autor has higher quality standards than any public or private organization: their customers.
In their fields in Extremadura, they carefully select the specimens that will be chosen to be Autor García Mimbrero, based on their genealogical records that guide them towards the most suitable parents.
These pigs enjoy an extensive life, feeding on special feeds prepared by García Mimbrero, and taking advantage of natural resources such as scraps, mushrooms, and grass.
In their cellars, the hams age for a minimum of 2 years, and some even reach 3 years.
The profiling or V-cut is done without excess unnecessary fat, so that you pay for the product, not for unusable fat.
Before leaving their cellars, the master ham makers, with decades of experience, perform the calado to ensure that each piece meets their demanding quality standards.
Only this way can they obtain an authentic Autor García Mimbrero ham, a product that carries the soul of their family and tradition, to provide you with a unique and unparalleled experience that has been barely affected by the passage of time.
