Local raw materials for exceptional quality

Maison Petricorena favors top-quality ingredients from the Basque Country and the South-West, in order to guarantee high-quality artisanal charcuterie:

• Manex pigs: raised in Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, on the Belarrea farm, these pigs are renowned for their marbled, tender and tasty meat. A true emblem of Maison Petricorena, Manex pork ham embodies all of Basque know-how. Its traditional maturing and delicate flavor make it an exceptional product, appreciated by gastronomy lovers.
• Farm-raised pigs from the South-West: selected for their superior quality, they are used to make Bayonne Ham, an essential reference in charcuterie in the Basque Country.

Thanks to this rigorous selection, Maison Petricorena perpetuates family know-how and highlights the richness of its terroir.

Rewarded know-how

The numerous awards obtained at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris, particularly for hams and cured meats, illustrate the artisanal know-how of Maison Petricorena and its commitment to excellence.
