About Product
Embutidos Carchelejo was founded in 1960 by Mr. Bernardino
González and his wife Mrs. Juana Lomas. It all started in Carchelejo,
a town of the south of Spain which gives the company name. The
business began as a small butcher's shop where the founders used
to make homemade sausages. Soon the high quality sausages
became famous throughout the whole region of Jaén and
surrounding areas.
In 1988, the company was eventually settled in Carchelejo's
outskirts. Since then, the facilities have been expanded and
improved several times.
Nowadays, the company is managed by the second generation and
count with state-of-the-art buildings and up-to-date technology, as
well as the latest quality systems to guarantee food safety
These hot ready to eat chorizo sausages are a fantastic addition to any dish.

Packaging Information
Your meat order is kept cool in transit because we either use an
insulated expanded polystyrene box, or a recyclable tough corrugated
cardboard box which is foil lined and insulated with bubble wrap. Both
boxes are leak-proof and sturdy.
To keep your delivery cool, it is packed along with specially designed
ice packs. Our ice packs are made with a frozen water-based gel, which
keeps the meat at the correct temperature for up to 48 hours. When the
ice does melt, it stays as a gel, which prevents the delivery becoming
wet.
