BELL FOOD GROUP
NORA HERTZSCHUCH TITLE : HEAD OF ADMINISTRATION & INFORMATION
INDUSTRY : FOOD PRODUCTION LOCATION : SWITZERLAND
of producing 5,000 metric tonnes of raw ham ( including the highly-sought after Jamon Ibérico variety , from a very specific and ancient breed of Iberian pig ), Bell Spain ’ s factory southwest of Madrid is one of the key production facilities for the company ’ s raw ham revenues in Europe . “ It ' s a very delicious and expensive product , being produced at scale ,” says Friedli . “ We ' re talking up to a million hams hanging in our warehouses in Fuensalida as they dry and cure .” With different breeds of pig being turned into different grades of ham , which are then cured and hung for different amounts of time , depending on their quality and intended certification , the execution of thousandyear-old traditional methods in an industrial environment at scale can be a challenging one .
