SINCE 1920

Our history

A FAMILY DEVOTED TO PIG MEAT TRADITION

The legacy of Ibérico art

The pride of the family business is that each new generation honours the preceding one while introducing changes and adapting the business to the new challenges of society. This is precisely the motto that we follow at FISAN when performing our daily work.

Transferring the Ibérico experience to the table

A century of traditional flavour in haute cuisine is only achieved through hard work, commitment, and a path with no detours towards the highest quality.

A little over 100 years ago, Mr Fidel Sánchez shaped the business that is dedicated to the marketing of Ibérico products. Times have greatly changed since then and in the 60s, his son, Mr Florencio, began to professionalize the preparation process of Ibérico pig products.

Currently, the family business is run by the third generation of the family. Headed by Eva, Florencio and Javier, we continue to develop the project, whose core idea is to deliver products of a better quality each day.

FISAN represents a century of respect for the tradition and culture of our Ibérico products, as well as dedication to their constant improvement through innovation. Alongside this, our business progresses thanks to the efforts of our team, made up of people who are committed to the company’s goals, which begin in the dehesa and end with the tasting and enjoyment of our products.
