Our Story
Bringing Authentic Spanish Flavours from Spain to New Zealand
When our family moved from Spain to New Zealand in 2013, we brought with us our passion for the rich culinary traditions of our homeland. While we fell in love with New Zealand's natural beauty and welcoming people, we found ourselves longing for the authentic flavours of Spanish cured meats that had been part of our family gatherings for generations.
For over a decade, we savoured New Zealand life while missing the tastes of home. Along the way, we met other Spaniards and Kiwis living in New Zealand who shared our passion and already had valuable experience in importing and exporting goods.
In 2024, we combined our shared vision and expertise to create Hamon NZ – turning our collective dream into a thriving business that brings the finest Spanish cured meats to New Zealand tables.
A Taste of Spain and Beyond
Throughout Spain, cured meats aren't just food – they're a cultural heritage, representing centuries of tradition and artisanal craftsmanship. Each slice of jamón tells a story of the Spanish countryside, careful aging processes, and time-honored techniques passed down through generations.
From Our Extended Family to Yours
This journey wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of our New Zealand friends who have become like family. Together, we've created more than just a business – we've built a community that bridges two cultures through a shared love of food.
We take pride in sharing our culinary heritage with New Zealand. Whether you're a chef seeking to elevate your menu, a food enthusiast exploring new flavours, or someone looking to recreate the taste of Spain at home – we're here to guide you through the rich world of Spanish cured meats.
We invite you to join our extended family on this delicious journey as we continue to connect Spain and New Zealand, one slice of jamón at a time.
