Learn the best technique for cutting ham and indulge yourself with the tasting that follows.

Zambujal is a small village in the municipality of Alcoutim. It has been our family homestead for many generations and is where our company name stems from. Our business purpose is the rearing and production of pork and pork products. We use an extensive farming system to rear pigs for the production of Iberian pork products such as sausages, hams and an infinite number of smoked and salted products, making sure to use the whole animal.

Additionally, to promote our products and later because our customers and the market demanded it, we began to host tastings, lunches and dinners for groups, by reservation. Almost all of the ingredients used to make the meals are produced at Zambujal, including the meat, processed meats, wine, produce from our vegetable gardens, herbs from our river banks, traditional sweets, and aguardente (local brandy) from "next door." An abundance of flavours and textures that are unique thanks to the quality of their authenticity.

In summer we make the most of our outdoor space, but on the long cold winter nights, our distiller, which works on the next batch of aguardente, creates a warm and cosy ambience. Meals usually finish up with a guided tour of our facilities, which allows guests to learn about the way our products are made, with chats and explanations on processes that almost all of us know a little bit about, given that pigs have been an integral part of mountain traditions since ancient times...
