Beher (Bernardo Hernández) is a family-owned company based in Guijuelo, in the Spanish province of Salamanca - one of the most important regions for Iberian ham production under the PDO Jamón de Guijuelo. Founded in the 1930s, the company has developed a fully integrated production model, controlling every stage from breeding 100% Iberian pigs on its own estates in the dehesa ecosystem to curing and aging in natural conditions.
Its products, particularly those from the Etiqueta Oro line, are made from acorn-fed (bellota) Iberian pigs, resulting in high oleic acid content and characteristic marbling. The curing process can last several years, during which the hams develop complex aromas, a balance between the sweetness of the fat and deep savory notes, and a long, persistent finish.
Beher is recognized for its consistency, technical precision, and adherence to traditional methods. Over time, it has become one of the leading producers of Iberian cured meats, with a strong presence in international markets.
Its hams are often considered a benchmark within the bellota category, reflecting the combined influence of origin, breeding, and carefully controlled maturation.
