FROM THE 1930'S TO THE OUR DAYS

Our beginnings date back to the early 1930s when Bernardo Hernández Blázquez, founder of BEHER, began to market the first Iberian products that he made by hand.

In the 1970s, Bernardo Hernández García, son of the founder, took over, who made BEHER grow exponentially and internationalized the brand thanks to the first exports. It is at this time that the breeding of 100% native Iberian pigs was incorporated into the company, where the genetic selection implemented from the beginning has turned out to be the key to achieving the current excellence of our products.

With the turn of the century and the arrival of the third generation with Bernardo and Jorge Hernández Tinoco at the helm, BEHER is now a consolidated and recognized company throughout the world that controls the entire production process, from pig breeding, to processing and curing and ending with the enhancement and sale of our Iberian products thanks to a large distribution network and our stores and restaurants spread between Spain and Portugal.

Today the fourth generation is beginning to be present and at BEHER we continue to faithfully bet on the quality and authenticity of all our products, where the digital environment, innovation and new technologies force us to continue working hard to adapt to the new times and the needs and tastes of the market.
